    The cash price of the car is $ 51600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Interest = PRT : 100

    240 = { (x-1600) * 12% * (48:12) } : 100

    240 = { (x-1600) * 0.12 * 4 } : 100

    240 = { (x-1600) * 0.48}

    100

    Cross-multiply 100 with 240 and 0.48 with 240

    240 * 100 = (x-1600)

    0.48

    50,000 = x-1600

    x = 50,000 + 1600

    x = $51600 the cash price of the car
