Question

23. Sara decided to look at new and used trucks. Sara found a used truck for $9000. Sara

found that she paid 60% of the price of a new truck. How much would a new truck cost?

Answer 1

A new truck would cost $15,000

Explanation:

$9,000 ÷ 60% = $15,000

Check your work

$15,000 × 60% = $9,000

Answer 2

$3,600

Explanation:

So we need to find 60% of 9000 and subtract the difference from 9000(since Sara can pay 60% of it, we need to subtract it from the original amount to find out how much she CANT pay)

0.60*9000=5400

9000-5400=3600

A new truck would cost $3,600

Hope this helps!
