In Algebra word problems, the first step is always to represent values.  We're looking for the cost of the car, so we can assign the value x to that.
x is the cost of the car.
When you multiply 0.04 to the cost of the car, the result is 1720.

@EvonHowell, it's great that you're trying to introduce someone to open study, but next time, just send the person a message.

Ok, first of all you are not an ambassador or a Moderator, you have NO right to tell me what to do... I am ambassador my job is to look for "first question" tabs and if their smart-score is low enough Ambassadors are to welcome the user to the site that is our job as ambassadors whether we welcome them by a Message OR the " Answer Pod " The answer Pod is the easiest to use.

Now, Please do NOT EVER tell a ambassador or a Moderator what to do!
