    The minimum requirement of salary = $53760

    Explanation:

    Cost of living in city is 12 percent higher than where Luke Anderson lives. So, Luke Anderson will require 12 percent higher salary than existing salary in order to maintain the existing standard of living

    The calculations are as follows.

    Current salary of Luke Anderson = $48000

    12 percent increase = 48000 multiply with 12 percent = 5760

    Thus, the required minimum salary = 48000 + 5760 = 53760

    So, Luke Anderson will require minimum salary of $53760
