That's the answer I got!

8648 * .047 = 406.456

406.456 + 8648 = 9054.456

9054.456 * .05 = 452.72!

Answer:

The down payment is $ 452.72 (approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price of the car = $8,648.00

Sales tax = 4.7%,

So, the final price of the car = (100+4.7)% of the original price

= 104.7% of $ 8,648.00

[tex]=\frac{104.7\times 8648.00}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{905445.6}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 9054.456[/tex]

Now, the percentage of down payment = 5 %,

Hence, the amount of down payment = 5 % of the final price

= 5 % of $ 9054.456

[tex]=\frac{5\times 9054.456}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{45272.28}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 452.7228\approx \$ 452.72[/tex]
