Answer 1

$16368

a) 6.6%

16368 ------------------- 100

x ------------------- 6.6

x = 108028.8/100

x = 1080.3

Price = 16368 - 1080.3

= $15287.7

b) 8.25%

16368 ------------------- 100

x ------------------- 8.25

x = 135036/100

x= $1350.4

Price of the car = 16368 - 1350.4 = $15017.6

Price of the car = 16.368 - 163.68rate
