Sam found a wrecked car that could she could fix. She bought the car for 65% of the original price of $7200. What did she pay for the car? SHOW YOUR WORK

$11,076.92
$4,680
$2,520
$468

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

So 65% in decimal form is 0.65

We use this to find the amount Sam paid for the car

65% of 7200 = 0.65*7200 = 4,680 dollars

Here's an alternative way to show your work

part/whole = percent/100

x/7200 = 65/100

x/7200 = 0.65

x = 0.65*7200

x = 4680

Ultimately we end up with 0.65*7200 and that's how we lead to the same answer as before. You could cross multiply like so

x/7200 = 65/100

x*100 = 7200*65

100x = 468000

x = 468000/100

x = 4680

So there are many paths to the same answer.
