Question

Annelise buys a car that is one year old for $13600.
The value of this car has reduced by 15% of the value when it was new.
Calculate the value of the car when it was new.

Answer 1

Answer:

• $16000

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial value is x, current value is $13600, price reduction by 15%.

• x - 15% = 13600
• x - 0.15x = 13600
• 0.85x = 13600
• x = 13600/0.85
• x = 16000
