A buyer pays a 20 percent deposit of $340 on a used car. What is the full price of the car?

Correct answer to question 7 (Arithmetic Reasoning): $1,700

Method

Here the part is known and the whole is missing, so divide rather than multiply. Since $340 represents 20 percent of the price, the full price is 340 divided by 0.20, which is $1,700.
