The boat's price before the reduction was $ 29,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that after a 13% price reduction, a boat sold for $ 25,230, to determine what was the boat's price before the reduction, the following calculation must be performed:
100 - 13 = 87
87 = 25230
100 = X
100 x 25 230/87 = X
2523000/87 = X
29000 = X
Therefore, the boat's price before the reduction was $ 29,000.
The Universe is thought to consist of three types of substance: normal matter, 'dark matter' and 'dark energy'. Normal matter consists of the atoms that make up stars, planets, human beings and every other visible object in the Universe.
