Question

A used automobile dealership recently reduced the price of a used compact car by 6%. If the price of the car before discount was $18 800, find the discount and the new price?

Answer 1

Answer:

The discount = $1,128

New price = $17,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of car before discount = $18,800

Discount given = 6% of price of car

Discount value in dollars = 6% of $18,800 = 6/100*$18,800 = $1,128

Thus, the discount is $1,128

New price = Price of car before discount - discount = $18,800- $1,128

New price = $17,672
