Idk How To Do This Pls Help class=

Sagot :

Given the percentage taken off and the reduced price, the original price of the item is $142.

What was the original price of the item?

Given the data in the question;

  • Percentage off the item = 20%
  • Reduced price of the item = $113.60
  • Original price of the item = ?

The original price of the item is at 100%, if the 20% is taken off. The price is now at 80%.

Hence 80% of the original price will give the reduced price.

Let the original price be represented by x

80% × x = $113.60

We solve for x

80/100 × x = $113.60

80x/100 = $113.60

Cross multiply

80x = $11360

x = $11360/80

x = $142

Given the percentage taken off and the reduced price, the original price of the item is $142.
