Question

The truck costs $ 9,068 including a 19% port tax. If the selling price is reduced by 20%. Find out the new car price before tax is added.​

Answer 1

$ 6096

Explanation:

Let the cost of truck = x

x+19% of x = 9068

x + 0.19x = 9068

1.19 x = 9068

`x = (9068)/(1.19)`

x = 7620.17

Reduction = 20% of 7620.17

= 0.20 * 7620.17

= $ 1524.03

New price = 7620.17 - 1524.03

= $ 6096.14
