Answer:

  a) sound system: $500

  b) navigation system: $1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the car with its upgrades (before tax) is ...

  $48,346.31/1.065 = 45,395.60

This means the total cost of the sound and navigation upgrades is ...

  $45,395.60 -43,895.60 = $1500

The ratio of sound system cost to navigation system cost is 1 : 2, so the sound system accounts for 1/(1+2) = 1/3 of the cost of the upgrades.

a) The upgraded sound system cost is 1/3 × $1500 = $500.

b) The upgraded navigation system cost is 2/3 × $1500 = $1000.
