Question

As a result of depreciation, the value of a car is now $19,500. This is three-fifths of its original value. Find the original value of the car.

Answer 1

We first start off with doing 19,500 times 3/5

19,500 x 3/5 = 58,500/5

Then, we'd have to divide 58,500 by 5.

58,500 divided by 5 gets us 11,700.

The original value of the car is $11,700.
