Question

"Benny decided to look at the price of new and used vans. Benny found a used van for $3000. Benny found that he paid 20% of the price of a new van. How much would a new van cost?"

Answer 1

$15000

Explanation:

We have that the value of the truck is $ 3000 and that this payment is equivalent to 20% of the value of a new truck, therefore the value of the new truck would be:

% of value value

20 3000

100 x

x = 100 * 3000/20

x = 15000

therefore the value of the new truck is $ 15000
