Question

A used motorcycle is on sale for 3,000. Erik makes an offer equal to 3/4 of this price. How much dose Erik offer for the motorcycle

Answer 1

2250 dollars

Explanation:

you can set up a portion:

3/4 = x/3000 -> with x as the equal offer 3/4 less

if you than multiply 3000(3) and 4(x), you get

9000=4x

than divide x by 4, and 9000 by 4 to get:

x=2250 dollars
