Answer:


  • Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount
  • Sales price= $
    1167.25 List price=L Discount
    =19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L

  • 1167.25=L-0.195L

Explanation:

The percentage discount is
19.5\%

The discount is always given on the list price.


Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount

Let the list price be L, then

List price=L

Sales price= $
1167.25

Discount
=19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L

We substitute into the equation to get:


1167.25=L-0.195L


1167.25=0.805L

Divide both sides by 0.805


(1167.25)/(0.805)=L


1450=L

The list price of the swimming pool is $1450
