Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\$3295.15}\\[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Calculate the extra cost
[tex]\begin{array}{rcr}\text{MSRP + Package + tax} & = & \$34 290.08\\\text{-MSRP} & = & -28 902.11\\\text{Package + tax } & = & \$5387.97\\\end{array}[/tex]
Step 2. Calculate the sales tax
Package + tax = $5387.97
MRSP + package + tax = total cost
For simplicity, let
m = MSRP
p = package
t = tax
c = total cost
m + p + t = c
Tax = 6.5% of (MSP + package)
t = 0.065(m+ p)
m + t + 0.065m + 0.065p = c
[tex]\begin{array}{rcr}1.065m +1. 065p & = & 34 290.08\\1.065 \times 28 902.11 + 1.065p & = & 34 290.08\\30780.75 + 1.065p & = & 34290.08\\1.065p & = & 3509.33\\\end{array}\\[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{3509.33 }{1.065 }\\[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{=\$3295.15}\\[/tex]
Check:
[tex]\begin{array}{rcr}\\\text{MSRP } & = & \$28 902.11\\\text{+ Package } & = & +3295.15\\\text{Cost } & = & 32 197.26\\\text{+ 6.5 \% tax } & = & +2092.82\\\text{Cost + tax } & = & \$34 290.08\\\end{array}\\[/tex]
