Question

What is the original price of an item if the sale price equals $146.54 and the discount was 15%

Answer 1

Answer: $172.40

Explanation:

`(New-Original)/(Original)=Percent\ Change`

`(146.54-x)/(x)=-0.15`

`146.54 - x = -0.15x`

`146.54=0.85x`

`(146.54)/(0.85)=(0.85x)/(0.85)`

`172.40 = x`
