the price of a new car is $48,000. If the sales tax rate is 1/3 then how much sales tax is being charged? What is the total cost for the car including tax?

$6,000 (tax)

$54,000 (total cost including tax)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out what 1/8 of 48,000 is

0.125 is 1/8

0.125 x 48,000 = 6,000

6,000 is 1/8 of 48,000

Now we have to add the tax to the cost

48,000 + 6,000 = 54,000
