Question

Rick Takei has a 4-wheel drive vehicle whose average retail value is $15,857. A used vehicle guide adds $60 for heated outside mirrors, $250 for rear and side air bags. $175 for cruise control, and $100 for remote keyless entry. It suggests deducting $750 for excessive mileage. What is the average retail price?

Answer 1

We are asked to find the final average retail price of the vehicle after the given additions and deductions.

The average retail value is $15,857

Add $60 for heated outside mirrors.

$\ 15,857+\ 60=\ 15,917$

Add $250 for rear and side airbags.

$\ 15,917+\ 250=\ 16,167$

Add $175 for cruise control.

$\ 16,167+\ 175=\ 16,342$

Add $100 for remote keyless entry.

$\ 16,342+\ 100=\ 16,442$

Deduct $750 for excessive mileage.

$\ 16,442-\ 750=\ 15,692$

Therefore, the average retail price is $15,692
