Answer: Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a 20% profit. If he sold it for $4680, how much did Charles pay for the car?
---------------------------
Let the price he paid equal "x".
EQUATION:
x + 0.20x = 4680
1.2x = 4680
x = $3900 (price he paid for the car.
24? I think if it means he will be thirteen years off his mothers age
-----------------

2 ·
= 2 · 22
x = 44
In fraction 1/2 in decimal 2.5
