Question

H. Pete wants a new truck. The sale price is 15% lower than the original price. The sale price is $20,000. Write and evaluate an expression for the original price. Uses for sale price and p for original price.​

Answer 1

• SP=20000
• Discount=15%
• CP=?

100-15=85%=SP

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 85\%* x=20000`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (85)/(100)x=20000`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=20000* (100)/(85)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=235.2(100)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto CP=23520`
