Question

Marc ordered a rug. He gave a deposit of 24% of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. If the deposit was $60, how much more does Marc owe? Complete the explanation.

Answer 1

Answer: $190

Explanation:

24% = $60

24% - 100% = x

Therefore,

24% = $60

76% = x

Cross multiply

0.24x = 0.76 (60)

0.24x= 45.6

Divide both sides by 0.24

x= 45.6/ 0.24

x = 190
