Answer:

$75.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost of remote keyless entry.

And [tex]8x[/tex] be the cost of 4-way power front passenger seat.

Total cost = destination charge + title fee + taxes

So we have the equation:

[tex]20,000 = (17,980+x+8x)+0.072(17,980+x+8x)[/tex]

Now solving for 'x', we get:

[tex]20,000 = (17,980+9x)+0.072(17,980+9x)[/tex]

[tex]20,000=17,980+9x+1294.56+0.648x[/tex]

[tex]20,000=19274.56+9.648x[/tex]

[tex]725.44=9.648x[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{725.44}{9.648} =75.19[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of remote keyless entry is $75.19.

Answer:

$601.53

Step-by-step explanation:

just do what the person did but all they forgot to do was to multiple for the "8 times" so take 75.19*8 to get 601.53.
