Question

1. gia researches online that her car is worth $3,000. she hopes to sell it for 85% of that value, but she wants to get at least 70%. she ends up selling it for $1,800. did she get what she wanted? explain.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the minimum - selling price she wants

The car is worth $3000$ and she wants to get at least $70\%$ of its value. The formula to find the minimum - selling price $P$ is $P = 3000\times0.7$.
$P=3000\times0.7 = 2100$

Step2: Compare the actual selling price with the minimum - selling price

She sold the car for $1800$. Since $1800<2100$.

Answer:

No, she did not get what she wanted because the minimum amount she wanted to sell the car for was $2100$ and she only sold it for $1800$.
