The cost of a car is supposed to be no more than 80% of the value for the next year's model. If a car costs $14,000, what is the cost of the next year's model?

x  ≥ 17,500

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will follow the  steps below:

let x be the cost of the next year's model

Writing the question in a mathematical format yield

$14,000 ≤ 80% of  x

This implies ;

80% of  x   ≥$14,000

80% ×   x  ≥$14,000

  ≥  $14,000

multiply both-side of the inequality by 100

 × 100 ≥  $14,000  × 100

at the left hand-side of the inequality 100 will cancel-out 100 leaving us with just 80x

80x  ≥  $1,400,000

Divide both-side of the equation by  80

80x /80 ≥  $1,400,000/80

x  ≥ 17,500

lol

step-by-step explanation:

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
