Question

PLEASE HELP IM SERIOUSLY STUCK ON THIS

Answer 1

The purchase price of the new car if the sales tax is $3500 is $50000

Direct variation

Let the amount of sales tax be A and the purchase price be p

If the amount of sales tax is directly proportional to the purchase price, this is expressed as:

S = kp

If S = $1750 and p = $25000, the;

k = S/p

k = 1750/25000

k = 175/2500

If the sales tax is $3500, the purchase price will be given as:

S = kp
3500 = 175/2500 p

175p = 3500*2500
175p = 8750000

p = 8750000/175

p = 50000

Hence the purchase price of the new car if the sales tax is $3500 is $50000
