Answer 1

Her new car costed $74,855.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara just bought a new car

• This car cost $2,362.12 less than twice the price of her first car
• She paid 38,609.04 dollars for her first car

we need to find how much her new car costed

∵ The cost of her first car = $38,609.04

∵ The cost of the new car is $2,362.12 less than twice the

   cost of her first car

- That means multiply the cost of the 1st car by 2 and then

   subtract 2,362.12 from the product

∴ The cost of the new car = 2(38,609.04) - 2,362.12

∴ The cost of the new car = 77218.08 - 2,362.12

∴ The cost of the new car = 74,855.96

Her new car costed $74,855.96
