The next model of a sports car will cost 4.4% more that the current model. the current model costs $48,000, how much will the price increase in dollars? what will be the price of the next model?

$50,112.  Increase is $2,112

Step-by-step explanation:

1st way.  $48,000 x 1.044 = $50,112.  1.044 is the same thing as saying 104.4% of the total price in decimal form, which is what the new price would be when adding 4.4% to the 100% of the original price.  To get the amount of increase just find the difference in the two.  $50,112-$48,000 = $2,112

2nd way.  $48,000 x .044.  =  $2,112 .044 is 4.4% in decimal form. So you found the increase here.  Add the increase to the original price.  $48,000 + $2,112 to get the new price of $50,112.

replace   with   27   and simplify.

10 , 27 , 10 , 70 , 10 , 35 , 10 , 48
