Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

%increase is given as = increase/ original prices ×100

Increase = new cost - original cost

The original average cost is $16000,

And the new average cost is $28,000

Then,

Increase = 28000-16000

Increase =$12,000

Then,

%increase=increase/original cost ×100

%increase = 12000/16000 ×100

%increase=75%

The rate of increase of the automobile cost is 75%
