Anya Barron · Answer 1

Price 30% lower than $2075 = 70% of $2075

1) 70% of $2075?

2) convert 70% into a decimal (0.70)

3) multiply $2075 by 0.70

4) $1452.00

5) The price the travel agent found was $1452.50

Cheyanne Kaiser · Answer 2

30% lower means it is 100-30 = 70% of the original price.

So the answer is (2075 * 70) / 100 = $1452.50
