The Lee family buys a new car that has a sales price of $35,000. If the car dealer requires a minimum down payment of 15%, what is the minimum down payment in dollars the Lees must pay for their car?

$5,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The less must pay a minimum down payment that is equivalent to 15% the sales price of the new car.

Given that the price of the new car is $35,000, the product of 15% with this amount will equal the down payment.

As such, the down payment

= 15% * $35,000

= 0.15 * $35,000

= $5,250

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
