Question

10. In a sale, the normal prices of furniture are reduced by 30%.

The normal price of a sofa is reduced by £195.
Work out the normal price of the sofa.

Answer 1

Normal price of the sofa = £ 650

Explanation:

Let x be the normal price

Reduce price = £195

30% of x = 195

`(30)/(100)*x = 195\\\\x = (195*100)/(30)\\\\x = 65*10`

x = £ 650
