Answer:

D. $28908.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ray Cupple bought a basic car costing $26,500.00, with options costing $725.00.

So the cost of car after options costing will be: @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@.

Since there is a 6% sales tax in his state , so the cost of car after sales tax will be $27,225 plus 6% of $27,225.

We are also told that there is a combined $50.00 license and registration fee, so the total cost of car will be $28,858.50 plus $50.

\(\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28,858.50+\$50\)

\(\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28908.50\)

Therefore, the total cost of the car is $28908.50 and option D is the correct choice.
