Question

Mr. Fowler suggested contacting a travel agent to see whether they could get a lower price. The agent found a price that was 30% lower than $2075. What was the price the travel agent found? Explain and Show your work.

Answer 1

30% lower means it was 70% of the 2075 (100%- 30%=70%)

70% from 2075=2075*70/100=145250/100= 1452,5

The price was 1452,5 $

Answer 2

To get my answer, I multiplied $2075 by 0.3 to get 622.50. Then I subtracted 622.50 from 2075 to get 1452.50.

Hope this helps,
