Question

Rick Takei has a 4-wheel drive vehicle whose average retail value is $15,857. A used vehicle guide adds $60 for heated outside mirrors, $250 for rear and side air bags. $175 for cruise control, and $100 for remote keyless entry. It suggests deducting $750 for excessive mileage. What is the average retail price?

Answer 1

We are asked to find the final average retail price of the vehicle after the given additions and deductions.

The average retail value is $15,857

Add $60 for heated outside mirrors.

`$\$15,857+\$60=\$15,917$`

Add $250 for rear and side airbags.

`\$15,917+\$250=\$16,167`

Add $175 for cruise control.

`\$16,167+\$175=\$16,342`

Add $100 for remote keyless entry.

`\$16,342+\$100=\$16,442`

Deduct $750 for excessive mileage.

`\$16,442-\$750=\$15,692`

Therefore, the average retail price is $15,692
