Trick question eye?
Did Robert pay 1500 for the vehicle after the sales tax. If so than the total would be 1500.
If that is pretax than tax would be 75 and the total would be 1575

10% would be $150. 5 % is half that, $75. Add that to the $1500, total is $1575.
On the other hand if this is a technicality trick question, the answer is $1500.

5% of 1500 = 75
Therefore 1500 + 75 = 1575

5% means he pays 5 cents on the dollar.
He is paying $1500 - therefore his tax is:
.05 dollars X 1500 dollars = 75.00 dollars
Total Price = $1500 + $75.00 = $1575

1,500 x 0.05 = 75
1,500 + 75 = $1,575
Robert had to pay $1,575 for the automobile.

Multiply 0.05 by 1500, then add that number to 1500.
