In November 2013, a car dealer is trying to determine how many cars to order from the manufacturer for 2014. A car ordered in 2013 cost $10000. The dealer expects that each car ordered from the manufacturer will cost 4% to 8% more in 2014. The selling price for each car in 2013 was $15000 but the dealer expects he will have to give a discount because of heavy competition, and that the selling price in 2014 will be between 93% and 98% of the 2013 price. The dealer expects to sell between 700 and 900 cars. Refer to the Car Dealership Problem and start with the original values. The cost increase is 6.38%. If the dealer's profits are $2,734,980, what was the discount and how many cars did the dealer sell?
