Answer:

$37500

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we can simply create a proportion of the percentages.

.4 / 1 == 15000 / x

Now we solve for x:

x = 15000/.4

x = 37500

Thus, the cost of the car was $37,500.

Cheers.

By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.
