Question

The truck costs $ 9,068 including a 19% port tax. If the selling price is reduced by 20%. Find out the new car price before tax is added.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 6096

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of truck = x

x+19% of x = 9068

x + 0.19x = 9068

1.19 x = 9068

      $x = \frac{9068}{1.19}$

    x = 7620.17

Reduction = 20% of 7620.17

                 = 0.20 * 7620.17

                 = $ 1524.03

New price = 7620.17 -  1524.03

                  = $ 6096.14
