hmm the reduction is 8%, how much is 8% of 15400 anyway?

if we take 15400 to be the 100%, what is 8%?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 15400&100\\ x&8 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{15400}{x}=\cfrac{100}{8}\implies \cfrac{15400\cdot 8}{100}=x

so, the reduced price of the car is 15400 - x.
