all of last year's models were marked down 40%. tracey wants to buy a car on sale for $18000. what was the retail price of the car?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the models are marked down 40%, then the sale price is 60% of the retail price. We need to find the 100%:

$100\times\frac{18000}{60}=100\times300=30000$

Answer:

The retail price of the car was $30,000
