First Car

Clunker

Pierre buys his first car.  
His father will pay 40% of the total price of the car.  
His father will also pay 100% of all taxes.  
The car costs $14,000.  
Taxes are 18%.  

Question:  
What is the total price of the car, including taxes?  
How much will the father give Pierre for the purchase?

Answer:
Data:  
- Car price: $14,000  
- Taxes: 18%  
- Father's contribution: 40% of the car's price + 100% of the taxes

Step 1 - Calculating the taxes:  
Taxes = $14,000 × 18%  
Taxes = $14,000 × 0.18 = $2,520  

Step 2 - Calculating the total price (car + taxes):
Total price = $14,000 + $2,520 = $16,520  

Step 3 - Calculating the father's contribution:  
- 40% of the car price = $14,000 × 40% = $5,600  
- 100% of the taxes = $2,520  

Total contribution from the father = $5,600 + $2,520 = $8,120  

So:
✅ The total price of the car, including taxes, is $16,520  
✅ The father will give Pierre $8,120 for the purchase
