Question

Jo bought a used car for $6000 and paid 15% deposit. How much did he still have to pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6000x15% he had paid 6000x15/100= $900

he have to pay $6000-$900=$5100.

Answer 2

Given:

Cost of the car$= 6000$

Deposit paid$=15\%$

To find: remaining amount to be paid.

Solution:

Find the remaining amount.

Remaining amount$=$Total cost of car$-$total deposit paid

                               $\[\begin{array}{l} = 6000 - \left( {\frac{{15}}{{100}} \times 6000} \right)\\ = 6000 - 900\\ = \ 5100\end{array}\]$

Hence, Jo still has to pay $5100$.
