Question

1) Mrs. Merson is selling her car. Her research shows that the car has a current value of $5,500,

Answer 1

The right answer is Option B:  $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current value of car = $5500

This is 55% of the original value.

Let,

p be the original price of car.

Therefore,

55% of p = 5500

$\frac{55}{100}p=5500$

Dividing both sides by p

$\frac{55}{100}*\frac{p}{p}=\frac{5500}{p}\\\frac{55}{100}=\frac{5500}{p}$

The equation $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$ can be used to find the price Mrs. Merson paid for the car.

The right answer is Option B:  $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$
