Duncan Rivers · Answer 1

169 - 130 = 39

39/130 = 0.30 = 30%

Answer

30% of the original cost

Zachary Cole · Answer 2

To find a percent, we divide. 'What percent of the original cost did he sell it for' means

sold price : bought price

$169 : $130 = 1.3

Meaning he sold it for 130% of the original cost.
