Answer:

$1674

$16926

Explanation:

A used automobile dealership recently reduced the price of a used compact car by 9%. If the price of the car before the discount was $18,600, find the discount and the new price?

Discount = percentage discount x original price

0.09 x $18,600 = $1674

New price = original price - discount

$18,600 - $1674 = $16926
