A. A car is marked down by 20%. It normally sells for $20,000. What is the sale

price of the car?

b. The sales tax rate is 2.5%. Using the sale price, what is the total cost of the car

with sales tax?

A=16000 B=16400

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You multiply 20,000 by. 2 or 20%, because you are trying to find a part of the 20,000.

2. You get 4,000 dollars, that is 20% of 20,000. To find the sale price, you take the 20% away from 20,000, which would be 16,000 dollars. That would be your answer for the first part.

3. the sales tax is 2.5% of the sale price. Again, you multiply 16,000 dollars, your sales price, by. 025 or 2.5%.

4. you would get 400 dollars. You add the 2.5% or 400 dollars because you have to pay the tax as well as the price. You would get 16,400 dollars.
