Question

James buys golf clubs at a 20% off sale, for $120.00. After buying the clubs, he sees an advertisement for the same clubs at another store for $8.00 less. At that store they are on sale for 13% off. What is the original cost of the clubs at the second store?

Answer 1

$128.74

Step-by-step explanation:

$8 less than $120 is $112.

13% off the original price leaves the price at 100% -13% = 87% of the original price.

So, we know that ...

... $112 = 0.87 × (original price)

... $112/0.87 = (original price) = $128.74
