If the pretax cost of a car is $25750.00 and is taxed at 6.5% what is the cost after tax?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

Total cost $27423.75

Assumption: car cost given is pre tax

6.5% is the same as #6.5/100#

Tax paid is 6.5% of $25750 #-> 6.5/100xx$25750 = $1673.75#

Total cost $27423.75

To find the cost after tax, multiply the pretax cost of the car by the tax rate (as a decimal), and then add this amount to the pretax cost. Cost after tax = Pretax cost + (Pretax cost * Tax rate) Cost after tax = $25750.00 + ($ 25750.00 * 0.065) Cost after tax = $25750.00 +$ 1678.75 Cost after tax = $27428.75
