Answer 1

Answer: The cost of new SUV is $20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

The price of used SUV is $12000.

Also, She paid 60% of the price of a new SUV.

Let the price of the new SUV be x, then we have

60% of x = $12000

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{60}{100}\times x =\ 12000\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{\ 12000}{60}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\ 20,000$

Hence, the cost of new SUV is $20,000.
