Answer 1

Answer 2

The total cost of the car and upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $<<21345+2500=23845>>23,845.
The sales tax will be $23,845 * 7% = $<<23845*7*.01=1669.15>>1669.15.
So, Sophia will pay a total of $23,845 + $1669.15 = $<<23845+1669.15=25514.15>>25,514.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total loan amount will be $25,514. Answer: \boxed{25514}.

Answer 3

To calculate the total loan amount, we start with the cost of the car, which is $21,345. Sophia also wants to add upgrades like floor mats and a sunroof, which cost an additional $2,500.

The next step is to calculate the sales tax on the car. In Georgia, the sales tax is 7%. So we multiply the total cost of the car and upgrades ($23,845) by 7% (0.07) to find the sales tax amount.

Multiplying $23,845 by 0.07 gives us $1,669.15 in sales tax.

Finally, we add the sales tax amount to the total cost of the car and upgrades to find the total loan amount.

Adding $1,669.15 to $23,845 gives us $25,514.15. To round to the nearest whole number, we round up to $25,514. Therefore, the total loan amount with upgrades and sales tax will be $25,514.
