Answer 1

The original price of laptop = $1450

Explanation:

Given as ,

The selling price of laptop = $1189

The reduction percentage = 18%

Let the original price of laptop = x

SO, x - 18% of x = $1189

Or,
`((100x - 18x))/(100)` = $1189

Or, 82x =$ 1189 × 100

So, x =
`((118900))/(82)`

So, x = $1450

Hence The original price of laptop is $1450 Answer
