Lee buys a computer and a printer for $2,028. The printer costs 30% of the price of the computer. What is the price of the computer?
x=computer
x+30% of x= 2028
x+30/100 of x= 2028
1 x + 0.3 x=2028
x= 2028/1.3x= ans.
x=1560=ans.
ans=1560
1,560 is the answer
100% + 30% = 130% = 1.3
2,028 / 1.3 = $1,560
Let x = the cost of the computer.
x + 0.3x = 2,028
1.3x = 2,028
x = 2,028/1.3
x = 1,560
The answer is $1,560
1560 is the answer
I still don`t under stand can someone elaborate
To find the price of the computer, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Let's say the price of the computer is x.
According to the given information, the printer costs 30% of the price of the computer. This can be represented as 0.3x.
The total cost of the computer and printer is $2,028. So, we can set up the equation:
x + 0.3x = 2028
Now, let's solve for x.
Combining like terms:
1x + 0.3x = 2028
Simplifying:
1.3x = 2028
Divide both sides of the equation by 1.3 to isolate x:
x = 2028 / 1.3
Using a calculator, we can find that:
x ≈ $1560.
