Question

A car dealer recently had a promotion which they gave a 9% discount to the first 50 people through the door. If you are one of those people and the car you are interested in cost $26,500.00, find the discount amount and the new price of the car.

Answer 1

Discount: $2,385

New price: $24,115

Explanation:

26,500 times 9 divided by 100

($26,500 x 9)/100 = $2,385

Discount = $2,385

New price = 26,500 - 2,385 = $24,115
