Question

Find the original price if the sale price of the cell phone is $205.50

Answer 1

$293.6

Explanation:

Here is the complete question: A cell phone is on sale for 30% off. Find the original price if the sale price of the cell phone is $205.50.

Given: Sale price of cell phone is $205.50

Discount= 30%

As 30% discount is given on original price or we can say 70% of original price is $205.50.

∴ Let the original price be x.

⇒
`(70)/(100) * x= 205.50`

Now, cross multiplying both side.

⇒
`x= (100)/(70) * 205.5`

∴ x= $293.6

The original price of cell phone is $293.6.
