Question

$73.19 after 85% discount what was original price?

Answer 1

First of all you have to know 85% is the same 0.85 in decimals.

Imagine the original price as x.

X - 0.85.x = 73.19

0.15.x = 73.19

X = 487.93

Answer 2

Answer: The Original Price was $487.93

Explanation:

Let the original price be 'x'

85%= 0.85 (decimal)

X-0.85x=73.19(the price after discount)

0.15x=73.19

X=73.19/0.15

X=487.93

Therefore, the original price was $487.93.
