The cost of the Volkswagen Jetta is $21,345 plus $2,500 for upgrades, which equals $23,845.

The Georgia sales tax is 7% of $23,845, which is $1,669.15 (23,845 * 0.07 = 1,669.15).

The total of her loan including sales tax is $23,845 + $1,669.15 = $25,514.15.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the total loan will be $25,514.

The cost of the Volkswagen Jetta is $21,345 plus $2,500 for upgrades.

$21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845

So, the total price of the car plus upgrades is $23,845.

Apologies for the previous error. To find 7% of the total price, we need to multiply the total price by 7% (or 0.07).

The total price of the car plus upgrades is $23,845.

To find 7% of $23,845, we can set up a proportion:

7/100 = x/23845

Cross-multiply:

100x = 7 * 23845

Simplify:

100x = 166915

Divide both sides by 100:

x = 166915 / 100

x ≈ 1669.15

Therefore, the 7% sales tax on the car will be approximately $1669.15.
