amount pay for car is $15,000

Explanation:

given data

car worth = $9000

paid = 60 %

to find out

$9000 is 60% of what number

solution

we consider amount pay = x

now we get here amount to pay for this car is express as

`(car\ worth)/(amount\ pay) = (paid)/(100)` .............1

put here value we get

x =
`(9000)/(0.60)`

x = $15,000

so amount pay for car is $15,000
