(Round your answer to the nearest cent.)d. What is the dealer’s final price? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)e. What is the dealer’s total savings? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

a.

The rebate is:

`17045-16335=710`

Therefore, the rebate is $710

b.

To determine the percent of the rebate we use a rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 17045\rightarrow100 \\ 710\rightarrow x \end{gathered}`

then:

`x=(710\cdot100)/(17045)=4.17`

Therefore the rebate is 4.17%

c.

The amount of the cash discount is:

`16335\cdot(1)/(100)=163.35`

Therefore, the amount of the cash discount is $163.35

d.

The dealers final price is:

`16335-163.35=16171.65`

Therefore, the dealer's final price is $16171.65

e.

The dealer's total savings is:

`17045-16171.65=873.35`

Hence the dealer's total savings is $873.35
