Answer: Marc still owes $175
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of the rug.
Marc ordered a rug and gave a deposit of 30% of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. This means that the amount of money that he deposited
for the rug is
30/100 × x = 0.3 × x = 0.3x
If the deposit was $75, it means that
0.3x = 75
x = 75/0.3 = 250
The cost of the rug is $250
The amount that Marc still owes would be
250 - 75 = $175
