Question

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? THANKS! A student at a university makes money by buying and selling used cars. Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a ​15% profit. If he sold it for ​$4669​, how much did Charles pay for the​ car?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a student (Charles) bought a car and sold it in 15 % profit for $4669.

we have the formula,

$cp = \frac{sp \times 100}{100 + p\%}$

so,

$cp = \frac{4669 \times 100}{100 + 15}$

by simplifying it we get,

CP is $4060.

Therefore, the cp was $4060.

Hope it helps...
