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? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

85/ 100 = 2,550/3,000

Her goal price is $2,550.

70/100 = 2,100/3,000

Her minimum price is $2,100.

No, she didn't get what she wanted- she only got 60% of what it was worse, 10% less than her wanted price.
