Question

Marc ordered a rug. He gave a deposit of 30% of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. If the deposit was $75, how much more does Marc owe? Drag and drop the amounts into the correct boxes to complete the explanation.

Answer 1

First, we know that
30% x the money owed= $75

Which means that

Total money owed = 100/30 x $75

Total money owed= $ 250


So, after putting the deposit, the amount that Marc still owe is:

$250 - $ 75 = $ 175
