Question

(2) Sandy made a 3% deposit on a computer,

which was $168. What is the total cost of the
computer?

Answer 1

Let's assume the total cost of the computer is "x".

Sandy made a 3% deposit on the computer, which is equivalent to $168. So, we can write:

0.03x = 168

To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.03:

x = 168 ÷ 0.03

x = 5600

Therefore, the total cost of the computer is $5,600.
