Question

HELPPPPPP FASTTTTT PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Gia researches online that her car is worth $3,000. She hopes to sell it for 85% of that value, but she wants to get at least 70%. She ends up selling it for $1,800. Did she get what she wanted? (Give both equations and solutions. Then answer the question of did she get what she wanted)

Answer 1

she did not get at least 2100 and definitely not 85% of the worth

Explanation:

3000*0.85=2550

3000*0.7=2100

Answer 2

Gia hoped to sell it for $2,550, but wanted at least $2,100. Because it sold for $1,800, she did not get what she hoped and/or wanted.

Explanation:

85% of $3,000 can be solved by moving the decimal two places to the left and multiplying: 85.0% becomes 0.85. So, we multiply 0.85x3,000=$2,550.

We do the same thing to figure out 70% of $3,000. Again, solving it by moving the decimal two places to the left and multiplying: 70.0% becomes 0.70. So, we multiply 0.70x3,000=$2,100.
