Answer 1

Answer:

New price found by travel agent was $1452.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We had earlier price as $2075

In search of lower price deals, agent found a price that was 30% lower than $2075.

First we find 30% of $2075.

i.e (30 /100)  * 2075

or  (3/10) * 2075

or $622.5

So the new price was $622.5 less than the earlier price.

Hence , The new price travel agent found was= $2075 - $622.5 = $1452.5

Therefore new price was $ 1452.5
