Answer

$\$ 51,200$

Work Step by Step

As per the given problem, we have: $y=kxz$ Here, $k$ is defined as constant of proportionality Let us consider $y=V; x=A, z=G$ $V=kAG$ Plug the given data in the above expression, we get $48000=k(60000)(10)$ This gives: $k=0.08$ Then, we have $V=kAG$ This implies that $V=\dfrac{4}{5}(60000)(4) =\$ 51,200$
