Question

A used motorcycle is an sale for $3,600. Erik makes an offer to 3/4 of this price. How much does Erik offer for the motorcycle?


A)$4,800
B)$2,700
C)$2,400
D)$900

Answer 1

Since Erik is offering $\frac{3}{4}$ of the price, we are going to want to multiply the price by $\frac{3}{4}$. (Think of it as if he was asking for 2 times the price, it's the same principle: you multiply.)

In this case, the price would be:

$\frac{3}{4} \cdot 3600 = 2700$

The price is B, $2,700.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) $2,700

1/4 of 3,600 is 900. So all we had to do was multiply 900 by 3, which is 2,700 making 3/4 of the price $2,700

Hope this helps you

Brainliest would be appreciated :)
