Matt Kaminsky bought a Volvo that is 3 3/4 times as expensive as the car his parents bought. If his parents paid $8,000 for theirs, what is the cost of Matt's car?

What we know... Parents car is $8,000 --- Volvo costs $8,000 x 3 3/4

3 3/4 is the same as 3.75

$8,000 x 3.75 = $30,000

Matt Kaminsky's Volvo costs $30,000
