Hello mate!

We know that Jon bought a Subaru wit a tax of 6%, where the tax was $820, and we want to know the price of the car.

Now we know that $820 is 6% of the total price of the car, then, if P is the price of the car, we got that:

6% of P = $820

using the decimal form of the percentage, we got:

0.06*P = $820

P = $820/0.06 = $13666.6

Now we want to round it to the nearest dollar, you can see that the first number after the decimal point is a 6, then we should round up (if the number is between 0 and 4 we round dow, if the number is between 5 and 9 we round up).

P = $13667

Then the correct answer is option D.
