Question

In a sale, the cost of a car is

reduced by 20%. In the sale it
costs £4,500. How much was it
before the sale?

Answer 1

5400

4500 multiplied by 1.2

Answer 2

The original price would be $5,625

Explanation:

The formula to finding out the original price is -

OP = SP/1 - P

- OP = Original Price

- SP = Sale Price

- P = Percent Discount

Now just put in the respected values and you'll get -

OP = 4500/1 - 0.20

Now solve :D

OP = 4500/1 - 0.20

= 4500/0.8

= 5625

So the original price is $5,625

Hope this helped! :D
