Question

Lena buys a brand new washing machine and a dryer for $7500

.
​
​The washing machine costs 70%
of the price of the dryer.

​​What is the price of the dryer?

Answer 1

2250 would be the answer I believe

Answer 2

$2250

Explanation:

if the cost of the washing machine is 70% of the cost she paid. then the cost of the dryer must be:

100-70 =30%

Now, to find the cost of the dryer, you just have to find 30%of 7500

30/100x 7500 = 2250

Thus, the dryer costs $2250.

Hope this helps.

Good luck
