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
