Final Answer: The total cost of the car is \(\boxed{10486}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the selling price of the car is \(\$ 9800\) and the tax rate is \(7 \%\).

Step 2 :The total cost of the car would be the selling price plus the tax.

Step 3 :The tax can be calculated by multiplying the selling price by the tax rate, which is \(9800 \times 0.07 = 686\).

Step 4 :Adding the tax to the selling price gives the total cost, which is \(9800 + 686 = 10486\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: The total cost of the car is \(\boxed{10486}\).
