Question

A keyboard is on sale for 676. If this price represents a 20? discount from the original price what is the original price to the nearest cent

Answer 1

The original price is $845

Explanation:

The selling price is $676

The discount is 20%

The original price is represented by 100%

The selling price is represented by 100% - 20% = 80%

So 80% = $676

100% = ?

Cross multiplying gives;

(100 × $676) ÷ 80 = $845
