A salesman needed to sell a race car. He priced it at $9,500 the first day it was on the market. The second day he reduced the price by15%. What was the price of the race car after this reduction?

Respuesta :

We can first find the percentage of the price on second day for calculation later on. As it is reduced by 15%, it is now:

100% - 15%

=85%

As it is now 85% of it's original price, we can multiply $9500 by the percentage:

$9500×85%

= 9500 × 0.85

= $8075

Therefore the answer is $8075.

Hope it helps!
