Question

David is buying a used car priced at $5695. The salesman is willing to take 1/5 off the price. What is the savings, and how much would the car cost after the fraction off the price?

Answer 1

ANSWER: He saves $1139 and the new price of the car is $4556.

 

To get the savings, multiply the car price by 1/5:

 

5695(1/5)=1139; so he saves $1139 

 

To get how much the car cost after the savings, subtract 1139 from the original price, 5695:

 

5695-1139=4556
