Linda purchased a birthday gift from Bed Bath and Beyond for her mother. After applying the

coupon below Linda received a $12.25 discount off her purchase. What was the price of the
gift before and after the discount?

PLS HELP SOLVE !!!

Answer 1

Before discount = $61.25

After discount = $49.00

Explanation:

Given information:

• Discount = $12.25
• Coupon = 20%

The price of the gift before the discount is 100%.

If the $12.25 discount was 20% of the purchase price, then:

⇒ original price (before discount) = (12.25 / 20) × 100 = $61.25

To find the price after the discount, simply subtract the discount from the found original price:

⇒ $61.25 - $12.25 = $49.00

Conclusion

• Before discount price = $61.25
• After discount price = $49.00
