Question

Car dealer Ben Carter paid 97% of the base price of $22,567. He also paid 93% of options totaling $3,465, and a destination charge of $650. What is the dealer’s cost?

Answer 1

The dealer cost is $ 25762.44 .

Explanation:

As given

Car dealer Ben Carter paid 97% of the base price of $22,567.

97% is written in the decimal form

`= (97)/(100)`

= 0.97

97% of the base price = 0.97 × Base price

= 0.97 × 22567

= $21889.99

He also paid 93% of options totaling $3,465, and a destination charge of $650.

93% is written in the decimal form

`= (93)/(100)`

= 0.93

93% of the option totaling = 0.93 × Cost of option totaling

= 0.93 × $3465

= $3222.45

Thus

Dealer cost = 97% of the base price + 93% of the option totaling + Destination charge .

Put all the values in the above

Dealer cost = $21889.99 + $3222.45 + $650

= $ 25762.44

Therefore the dealer cost is $ 25762.44 .
