1. Marc ordered a rug. He gave a deposit of 30% of the cost
And then he will pay the rest when the rug is delivered.
If the deposit was $75, how much more does Marc owe?
=> 75 dollars is the 30% that he paid, thus, he still need to pay the 70% of the rug costs.
Here’s my way of solving it, First find the value of 10%
=> 75 dollars = 30%
=> 75 / 3 = 25 dollars is the 10%
=> 25 dollars * 10 = 250 dollars is the 100% value or cost of the rug
