The sale price of a product is $120, which is 15% off the regular price. Find the regular price. Be sure to round your answer to the nearest cent.

Sagot :

Sale price = 120

percentage off = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 (decimal form)

Multiply the regular price by the percentage discount, that expression must be equal to the sale price.

x (1-0.15 ) = 120

Solve for x (regular price)

x 0.85 = 120

x = 120/0.85

x=$ 141.18
