The deposit is $4000
What should you do first.
Well, the deposit is 10%. What do you multiply 10% by to get 100%? You multiply by 10. Our $4000 is our 10% value. What you multiply 10 by to get a 100, you should multiply $4000 by. This is not a direct answer. I want you to try to solve the equation with hints. I remember how I hated word problems. Now they just annoy me. If you need more help just ask.
