Respuesta :

Answer:

The dealer cost is  $ 25762.44 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Car dealer Ben Carter paid 97% of the base price of $22,567.

97% is written in the decimal form

[tex]= \frac{97}{100}[/tex]

= 0.97

97% of the base price = 0.97 × Base price

                                     = 0.97 × 22567

                                     = $21889.99

He also paid 93% of options totaling $3,465, and a destination charge of $650.

93% is written in the decimal form

[tex]= \frac{93}{100}[/tex]

= 0.93

93% of the option totaling = 0.93 × Cost of option totaling

                                            = 0.93 × $3465

                                            = $3222.45

Thus

Dealer cost = 97% of the base price + 93% of the option totaling + Destination charge .

Put all the values in the above

Dealer cost = $21889.99 + $3222.45 + $650

                   = $ 25762.44

Therefore the dealer cost is  $ 25762.44 .
