b. What was the original price of the TV? Show two methods for finding your answer.

Answer 1

$900

Explanation:

a)Off given on purchasing a TV= 20%

20% on TV = $ 180

Let the original price of TV set $ x

According to question,

20% of x= $180

`(20)/(100)` ×x= $180

x = $ 180× 5

x= $ 900

Hence, Original price of TV set= $ 900

b) By second method,

20%= $180

1%= $ 9

100% = $900

Hence, the original price $ 900
