Q. The state where you live has a 6% 6 \% sales tax. If you purchase a car for $9,800 \$ 9,800 , w will you pay, including tax? (This is a two-step problem.)\newlineSelect one of four\newline (A) $10,548\newline(B) $10,388\newline(C) $10,998\newline(D) $10,728
  1. Calculate Sales Tax: Calculate the amount of sales tax you will pay.\newlineTo find the sales tax, multiply the cost of the car by the sales tax rate.\newlineSales tax =Cost of the car×Sales tax rate= \text{Cost of the car} \times \text{Sales tax rate}\newlineSales tax =$(9,800)×0.06= \$(9,800) \times 0.06
  2. Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation for the sales tax.\newlineSales tax = $9,800×0.06=$588\$9,800 \times 0.06 = \$588
  3. Add Sales Tax: Add the sales tax to the cost of the car to find the total amount you will pay.\newlineTotal cost = Cost of the car + Sales tax\newlineTotal cost = $9,800\$9,800 + $588\$588
  4. Calculate Total Cost: Perform the calculation for the total cost.\newlineTotal cost = $9,800\$9,800 + $588\$588 = $10,388\$10,388
