Question 11755: Hi I have a question from my MATH208 class:
Abdul is shopping for a new truck in a city with an 8% sales tax. There is also an $84 title and license fee to pay. He wants to get a good truck and plans to spend at least $12,000 but no more than $15,000. What is the price range for the truck? Thanks very much!

Let P be the price the good truck.
The low end of the range would be:
($12,000 + (0.08)($12,000) + $84.00)
($12,000)(1.08) + $84.00 = $12,960 + $84.00 = $13,044.00
The high end of the range would be:
($15,000)(1.08) + $84.00 = $16,200 + $84.00 = $16,284.00
This can be writen:
$13,044.00 <= P <= $16,284.000 Including tax & license. (<= means less than or equal to)
