Multiply the price of the van by the sales tax:

26,857 x 0.06 = 1611.42

Add the sales tax and the cost of the fees to get the total cost:

26857 + 1611.42 + 250 = 28,718.42

Now multiply that by 20% and subtract from the total:

28,718.42 x 0.20 = 5743.68

28718.42 - 5743.68 = 22974.74

They are financing $22,974.74
