To find the original price, we need to find out what is 15% of 76.49.
Take 15 and move the decimal over to the left twice. This leaves you with .15. Now take .15 and multiply 76.49.
.15 * 76.49
11.4735
15% of 76.49 is 11.4735.
We aren’t done yet.
Add 11.4735 to 76.49, because the original price was 15% more than 76.49.
11.4735 + 76.49
87.9635
Rounding to the nearest tenth...
87.96
The original price was $87.96.
