Lee buys a computer and a printer for $2,028. The printer costs 30% of the price of the computer. What is the price of the computer?

Let the price of the computer = C

The price of the printer           =0.30C

C + 0.30C =2,028

1.30C = 2,028            divide both sides by 1.30

C = 2,028 / 1.30

C = $1,560 The price of the computer.

$2,028 - $1,560 = $468.00 price of the printer.

Let the price  of the computer  = C

Let the price of the printer =  .30C

And  we know that

C + .30C   =   2028     simplify

C ( 1.30)  =  2028      divide both sides by  1.30

C  =  $1560
