Find the original cost of a rocker selling for $159.95 at 20% off.

Sagot :

We can use proportion here. As we know, cost of a rocker is now 80% of original.
So:
[tex]159.95$------------------80% [/tex]   crossmultiplying
[tex]x---------------------------100%[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{159.95*100}{80}=199.94[/tex] - aswer
