No sales tax if used car is bought from an individual?

What is the total amount Robert had to pay for a used car he bought for 1500.00 plus sales tax of 5 percent?

• Answer:

  You can multiply 1500 by .05. Your answer is the tax which you will need to add to the 1500 to get the total cost of the car. are you dumb?! that's sooooo easy! HOW OLD ARE YOU!? LETS SEE BOB BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR 1500.00 BUT WHEN BOB WENT TO THE DMV THEY CHARGED HIM BLUE BOOK PRICE AND BOB GOT WHACKED FOR A PURCHASE PRICE OF 5800.00 DUE TO THE RESALE AND THE DEAL BOB GOT ON THE VEHICLE. SO THE SALES TAX INSTEAD OF BEING 1575.00 BUT GOT HAMMERED PAYING 6090.00 TOTAL. THE DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLES SUCKS KID! I'm 8. no one asked how easy the question was just answer it that's all you have to do I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS SOLID 1575.00 NO DMV WAS ASKED IN THE QUESTION. JUST WHAT IS 5% OF 1500. THEN WE ADD TO 1500.00
