Problema Solution
Kevin agreed to work 3 months on his uncle's farm for $600 and a used car. After 2 months, Kevin had to quit. For his work he received the car plus $100. What was the value of the car?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the value of the car, then his expected salary was 'x+600'
he earned 2/3 of his expected salary, therefore:
x+100 = (2/3)(x+600)
solving for 'x' we have x=900
the value of the car is $900
