Decrease in price: $?
Price of model: $?

Respuesta :

Let that be x

  • Current cost=48000

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=48000-0.112(48000)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=48000-5376[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=42624\$[/tex]

Answer:

Decrease in price:  $5,376

Price of next model:  $42,624

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease in Price

Find 11.2% of $48,000

First, convert 11.2% into a decimal:

⇒ 11.2% = 11.2/100 = 0.112

Multiply this by $48,000:

⇒ 0.112 × 48000 = $5376

Therefore, the decrease in price is $5,376

Price of next model

price of next model = current price - 11.2%

                                 = 48000 - 5376

                                 = $42,624

Therefore, the price of the next model is $42,624
