Let sports package be S, destination charge, D, and base price, B
Then S = B/10
Also, D = B/50
Now, since S + D + B = 24,416, then we can say that:
B/10 + B/50 + B = 24,416 ----- Substituting values for S & D
5B + B + 50B = 1,220,800 ------- Multiplying by LCD, 50
56B = 1,220,800
B, or base price of car =  , or $
D, or destination charge = $ or $436
S, or sports package = $ , or $2,180
Check
$21,800 + 436 + 2,180 = $24,416
