Question

A used car is for sale for $24,000. Jared took a chance and offered the owner 1/4 of the selling price. How much did Jared offer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jared offer $6,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A used car is for sale for $24,000. Jared took a chance and offered the owner 1/4 of the selling price.

Now, to find the price Jared offer.

Selling price = $24,000.

Jared offer = $\frac{1}{4}$  of selling price.

So, to get the price Jared offer:

$\frac{1}{4}\ of\ \ 24000$

$=\frac{1}{4} \times 24000$

$=\frac{24000}{4}$

$=\ 6000.$

Therefore, Jared offer $6,000.
