Question

When a dealer sold a car for $15300, he gave a discount of
10%. Calculate the original price of the car?

Answer 1

Answer:

The original price of the car is $17000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the car be x

The discounted price of the car is given to be $15300

The percent of discount is said to be 10%

Inorder to find the discounted price of the car we have to first multiply the discount percent to the original price and then subtract the discount amount from the original price.

The discount amount=$\frac{10}{100} x$

The discounted amount=$x-\frac{10}{100} x=\frac{90}{100} x$

$\frac{90}{100} x=15300\\x=\frac{15300.100}{90} =17000$

The original price of the car is $17000
