Question

A car dealer sells a car for $42000 which represent a 25% profit over the cost. What was the cost of car to the dealer

Answer 1

$33600

Explanation:

Let x = original car price

Since it is a 25% profit that means we multiply x by 1.25

1.25x = 42000

Divide both sides by 1.25

1.25x/1.25 = 42000/1.25

x = 33600
