Question

Dylan dad paid $245.40 which is 30% of original cost.How much was Dylan's dad selling the car for originally?

Answer 1

Let the original price of the car = x

So,

30% of x = $245.40

Solve for x

Note: 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

so,

0.3 x = 245.4

Divide both sides by 0.3

So,

x = 245.4/0.3 = 818

so,

the original car price is $818
