Answer: the price of the next model is $35371

Explanation:

The cost of the current model of the car is $31,000

The next model of sports car will cost 14.1% more than the car model. This means that the amount by which the cist of the current model of the car will increase is

14.1/100 × 31000 = 0.141 × 31000 =$4371

The price of the next model of the car would be the sum of the previous model's price and the increase in price. It becomes

31000 + 4371 = $35371
