Robert **bought **a used car for $1,500. If the **sales tax **is 5%.
Let 'x' be the **total **price that he paid. Then the **equation **is calculated as,
5% = [(x - 1500) / 1500] x 100
**Simplify **the equation, then we have
0.05 = (x - 1500) / 1500
75 = x - 1500
x = 1500 + 75
x = $1575
The **total **that Robert had to **pay **for the car will be $1,575.

you multiply 1500 by .05 (5%=.05). your answer would be 75. you then add 75 to 1500, and your final answer would be $1575. :)

Robert's total car expense, including a 5% sales tax, is $1,575. The sales tax on the car's $1,500 price amounts to $75. By adding this tax to the base price, we arrive at the final total cost.
