Respuesta :

Answer:

d. $680.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let x be the cost of garage door.

We have been given that the extended warranty on a garage door is $238 and the warranty costs 35% of the purchase price. This means 35% of x equals 238.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]\frac{35}{100}x=238[/tex]

[tex]0.35x=238[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{238}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]x=680[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of garage is $680 and option d is the correct choice.
