Natalie puts down $800 on a car. Natalie still owes 90% of the purchase price. What was the price she bought the car

Question

I need help solving this problem

Answer 1

Hi Catherine,

 

If she owes 90%, then she must have paid 10% of it with that $800. what this means is that 10% of the total is $800. If the total is x, then x*10/100=800

=> x = $8,000 is the total.

hope this helps
