Finding a price that is 30% lower than $2075 is the same as finding a price that is 70% of $2075.
That means all we need to do is calculate what is 70% of $2075.
Convert 70% into decimal form which is 0.70.
Next, multiply $2075 by 0.70.
$2075*0.70 = $1452.50
The price the travel agent found was $1452.50
Note: If you don't know how to multiply by decimals you can multiply $2075 by 7 than divide the result by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left).
