At a clearance sale, everything has been marked down 13%. How much did a car originally sell for, if its current price is $12.962.99?
A. $11,277.80
B. $16,851.89
C. $14,899.99
D. $14,388.94
I'm doing 12962.99 x .13 = 1685.1887 + 12962.99 = 14,648.18 That is not a option what am I doing wrong?Finding what the value of a car used to be after a markdown?
$12,962.99 represents (100 - 13) = 87% of the price
so original price = $12,962.99 * (100/87)
ans : [ C ] $ 14,899.99
