We have to know what is the value of the down payment in dollars. Also, by the problem, we know that the down payment is 10%, and that Sharon bought a $2,100 HDTV.
This means we have to take the 10% of the total value of the TV, in this case:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =2100\cdot\frac{10}{100} \\ =2100\cdot\frac{1}{10} \\ =\frac{2100}{10} \\ =210 \end{gathered}[/tex]This means that the dollar value of the down payment is $210.
