The license fee for a car which cost $9,200 is $82

so, firstly , we will find licence fee for car which costs $1

Because we know that both cars have the same rate for tax, we can set their ratios equal to each other: [tex] \frac{82}{9200} = \frac{x}{9900} [/tex]

Cross-multiply: [tex]82 \times 9900 = 9200x[/tex]

Simplify: [tex]811800 = 9200x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9200: [tex]x = 88.2391304347826[/tex]

They told us to round the solution to the nearest cent. Which gives us [tex]x=$88.23[/tex]
