Mr. dewalt suggested contacting a travel agent to see whether they could get a lower price. the agent found a price that was 30% lower than $2075. what was the price the travel agent found? explain and show your work.

This word problem basically suggests that the agent took 30% of $2075 off. So we set up the first equation like so and solve:

2075 * .30 = x
622.50 = x

So now that you have the exact amount lower the agent found, subtract this from the original price:

2075 - 622.50
= 1452.50

Thus, the price the travel agent found was $1452.50
