Mr. dewalt suggested contacting a travel agent to see whether they could get a lower price. the agent found a price that was 30% lower than $2075. what was the price the travel agent found? explain and show your work.

Finding a price that is 30% lower than $2075 is the same as finding a price that is 70% of $2075.

That means all we need to do is calculate what is 70% of $2075.

Convert 70% into decimal form which is 0.70.

Next, multiply $2075 by 0.70.

$2075*0.70 = $1452.50

The price the travel agent found was $1452.50

Note: If you don't know how to multiply by decimals you can multiply $2075 by 7 than divide the result by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left).
