Answer 1

26500 x _______ = 20670

 

Divide both sides by 26.5k:

_______ = ²⁰⁶⁷⁰/₂₆₅₀₀

We can factor out a 10:

_______ = ²⁰⁶⁷/₂₆₅₀

 

                 .78

        ------------

2650|2067.00

       -1855 0

       -------------

           21200

          -21200

      ---------------

 

So the car costs 78% of the original price. If 78% is the sale price, how much of a discount was there?
