Question

A rental car company is offering a 20% discount if you rent a car for a weekend. The sale price for the weekend is $78. What is the regular price for renting a car for a weekend

Answer 1

$97.50

Explanation:

So we know that $78 is 80% of the regular price because 100% - 20% = 80%.

With this in mind if we divide $78 by 8 we will get $9.75. This shows us that each 10% is $9.75. We can now do $9.75 x 10 which equals $97.50

Hope this helps! :)
