Answer 1

Given,

Cost of current model is 52000 dollars.

The rate of decreament of cost is 6.1% of current model cost.

The decrase in price is,

$\begin{gathered} D=6.1\text{ of 52000} \\ \text{ =}\frac{6.1}{100}\times52000 \\ \text{ =6.1}\times520 \\ \text{ =3172} \end{gathered}$

The decrease in price is 3172 dollars.

The cost of the next model is,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of next model= cost of current model-decrease in price amount} \\ \text{ =52000-3172} \\ \text{ =48828} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the cost of the next model is $48828.
