Answer 1

The value of the car in very nice condition is $28,500.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

In 1955 an antique car that originally cost 3,943 is valued at 64,125 if in excellent condition, winch is 2 1/4 times as much as a car in very nice condition.

The mixed fraction can be written as:

`2 (1)/(4)=(9)/(4)`

Let x is the value of car in very nice condition.

`64,125 =(9)/(4)x`

`x=(64,125* 4)/(9)`

`x=28,500`

Hence, the value of the car in very nice condition is $28,500.
