<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$5850

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If 100% of the car price is 24,600 , then you need to find what 15% is.

To do this you can use the percentage formula:

Amount x $\frac{percentage}{100}$

Now, you can simply plug the values into this

39000 x $\frac{15}{100}$

39000 x 0.15 = 5850

<h3>So the total of the tax would be $5850!</h3>
