Answer 1

The price will decrease by $2132

Step-by-step explanation

Given that the next model of the sports car will cost 5.2% less than the current model.

The price of the current model=$41000

The price of the next model will be 5.2% less than $41000

$price\ of\ next\ model=price\ of \ current \ model \times(100-5.2)/100\\=41000\times 94.8/100\\=38868$

$decrease in price=41000-38868=2132$

There is a $2132 decrease in prize of the sports car.
