Respuesta :

We have the following:

What we must do is calculate the total cost of the car by adding its original value plus the cost of taxes, 6% and 1%

We know that the initial value is $15000, if to that we add 6% of those $15000 and equal 1%, we have

[tex]15000+15000\cdot0.06+15000\cdot0.1=15000+900+150=16050[/tex]

We do the same procedure for the oil change

[tex]29+29\cdot0.06+29\cdot0.01=29+1.74+0.29=31.03[/tex]

Therefore the correct statement is the last
