<span>A car was sold at $34000. That price was 85℅ of the orginal price. When we know 85% of the original price we can find 1% of this price by dividing by 85.
1% of the original price = $34000 / 85 = $400 </span>When we know 1% of the original price we can find 100% of this price by multiplying by 100.
100% of the original price = original price = $400 * 100 = $40000 The answer is $40000
