Since you need to subtract 11% by 31,000 your answer will be 27,590

Answer: $ 27,590

Explanation:

The amount paid by Mr. Green for the car = $31,000

The percentage of loss = 11%=0.11

Now, 11% of the amount paid by Mr. Green is given by :-


0.11*\$31,000=\$3,410

Now, the amount of car when he gets to the road is given by :-


31,000-3,410=\$27,590

Hence, the car costs $ 27,590 when he gets to the road.
