Answer:

$2673

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent average cost of car 50 years ago.

We have been given that over the last 50 years, the average cost of a car has increased by a total of 1,094%. The average cost of a car today is $31,918. We are asked to find the average cost 50 years ago.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

x+1,094\%\text{ of } x=\$31,918

x+\frac{1,094}{100}* x=\$31,918

x+10.94x=\$31,918

11.94x=\$31,918

\frac{11.94x}{11.94}=\frac{\$31,918}{11.94}

x=\$2673.1993299

x\approx \$2673

Therefore, the average cost of the car 50 years ago was $2673.
