Answer 1

Explanation:

Thinking of this in terms of words, we are looking to solve the equation:

"The price Andre paid for the car is 65% of the original $7200 price" which in algebra-speak is

p = .65(7200) where p is the price Andre paid (our unknown), the word "is" indicates an equals sign, .65 is 65% as a decimal, the word "of" indicates multiplication, and the original price is...well, the original price.

Solving for p:

p = $4680
