Question

A second hand car dealer is selling a car for $6,000. This is two-thirds of what it cost new. How much did the car cost new

Answer 1

Answer:

the cost of the new car will be $9,000

Answer 2

Answer:

= $9,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of a new car is x.

In the questin

Selling price of a second hand car = $6,000

And this is the $\frac{2}{3}$ of the new car

Here,

$\frac{2}{3} x$ = $6,000

2x = $18,000

x = $9,000

Hence the cost price of new car is $9,000.
