Question

Another car dealership sells a truck for the wholesale price of $12,000. During a special sales event, the dealership offers a 10% discount off of the price. After the discount, how much will a customer pay for this vehicle? Show your work.

Answer 1

$10,800

Explanation:

Given that:

Wholesale price of the truck = $12,000

At the special sales event, the discount offered on the price = 10% of the wholesale price

Therefore the discount can be calculated as follows:

10% of Wholesale price

Wholesale price is given as $12,000.

`\Rightarrow (10)/(100) * 12000\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$1200}`

Now, we have to find the price to be paid by customer after the discount being offered due to the special sales event.

Discounted price = Wholesale price - Discounted offered due to special sales event.

Discounted price = $12000 - $1200 = $10,800

Therefore, the answer is:

$10,800
