Alice Hall made a $3,000 down payment on a new Ford Explorer wagon. She still owes 90% of the selling price. What was the selling price of the wagon?

If she still owes 90% of the money, then how much did she pay already? In percentage? And how much in cash? By answering that, you'll get how much percentage is how much money. Now just see by how much you have to multiply that percentage to get 100%, and multiply the cash by the same number, and you'll have your answer.

Hi,
Algebra problem?

let x = the selling price.
Then;
x - 3000 = 90%(x)

Can you solve the equation for x? If so, that will be the selling price.

3,000 = 1/10 of selling price

so 10 times 3,000 is?

threfore, 3,000 x 10 = selling price.
