Question

Nancy pays $6\%$ sales tax on a car that costs $\$22,000$. What is the cost of the car including sales tax?

• A. $\$23,320$
• B. $\$23,540$
• C. $\$24,200$
• D. $\$31,200$
• E. $\$35,200$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$23,320$

Sales tax amount $=6$ $\%$ of 20,000 = \dfrac {6}{100} \times 22,000 = $1,320$
So, total amount $=$ 22,000 + $1,320=$ 23,120 $
