Question

angela bought a pair of shoes at 12% off and receive an additional membership discount of 70 pesos if the pair of shoes cost her 1866 pesos what was the original price of the shoes​

Answer 1

The original price of the shoes was of 2200 pesos

Explanation:

She bought the shoes for 1866 pesos.

She receibed a discount of 70 pesos, so the cost, with the discount, is 1866 + 70 = 1936 pesos.

The pair was bought at 12% off, that is, 1936 pesos is 100 - 12 = 88% of the original price. Then

`0.88x = 1936`

`x = (1936)/(0.88)`

`x = 2200`

The original price of the shoes was of 2200 pesos
