To find the new price of the car after an 8% discount, you can first calculate the amount of the discount and then subtract that amount from the original price.
-
Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Discount Rate}}{100} = 27000 \times \frac{8}{100} = 27000 \times 0.08 = 2160 \]
-
Subtract the discount from the original price: \[ \text{New Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 27000 - 2160 = 24840 \]
Therefore, the new price of the car is $24,840.
