Lisa decided to buy a new car and the dealership told her that she had to give them 6% of the sales price as a down payment. If the selling price of the car was $18,000 how much of a down payment did Lisa have to give?

Respuesta :

selling price = 100%. = $18,000
1%= $18,000/100 = $180
6% = 6 x 1% = 6 x $180 =$1,080.

Down payment = $1,080


Answer:

$1,080 in down payment

Step-by-step explanation:

If the down payment is 6% of the sales price, we first need to turn this percentage into a decimal.

[tex]6/100 = 0.06[/tex]

Now that we have the percentage in decimal form we can multiply it by the selling price of Lucy's new car in order to calculate the amount of down payment that Lucy would need to pay.

[tex]18,000 * 0.06 = 1080[/tex]

Lucy would need to pay $1,080 in down payment for her new car
