Question

during a clearance sale an electronic store sold a blue ray player for $525 if items on sale were discounted by 65% find the original retail price of the blu ray player.

Answer 1

$866.25 is what I got as an answer.

Answer 2

Original price of the blue ray player was $1500.

Explanation:

During the clearance sale selling price of the blue ray player was = $525

Discount on the items were = 65%

Let the original selling price of the blue ray player was = $x

Therefore, after discount of 65% selling price will be = x - 65% of x

= x - 0.65x

= 0.35x

And the equation will be

0.35x = 525

x =
`(525)/(0.35)`

x = $1500

Therefore, original price of the blue ray player was $1500.
