we are given that a car cost $ 59000 and the price will decrease by 11.56%, therefore, the amount it will decrease is equivalent to:


59000*(11.56)/(100)=6820.4

Therefore, the price will decrease by $6820.4. The total price will be then:


59000-6820.4=52179.6

Therefore, the price will be $52179.6
