Question

Zech has an old car. he wants to sell it for 60% off the current price. market price is $500.how much money would he receive in exchange for the car?

Answer 1

Here we just need to find the amount he wants to sell the car at.

0.6 x 500=a

0.6 is 60% in decimal form (60/100) times the market price (he is selling for 60% of the market price) and a is the money he will earn.

0.6 x 500=a
300=a

He would receive $300

Answer 2

Since it would be 60% off the original price (which is $500) it would have be $300.
