Mr. Dewalt suggested contacting a travel agent to see whether they could get a lower price. The agent found a price that was 30% lower than $2075. What was the price the travel agent found? Explain and Show your work.

First you have to know, that the price the agent found is 70% of  $2075
 (100%-30%=70%)
70%=0,7
$2075 * 0,7 = $1452,5
So 70% 0f $2075 is 1452,5

The price the agant found is $1452,5.
