A car dealership lowered all of its car prices by 15%.
what was the original price of a car now priced at £9500

Answer 1

Well, person below is incorrect.

x=9,500/0.85

x=11,176.47 to the nearest hundredth of a pound.

Answer 2

0.85*n=9,500

(17/20)*n=9,500

17n=9,500*20

17n=190,000

n=190,000/17

n=11,176.47

Original price of the car: $11,176.47 (2dp)
