Question

Terry is purchasing a bike that is on sale for 40% off the original price. After a coupon is applied that reduces the sale price by 20%, Terry's final cost for the bike is $168. What was the original price of the bike Terry is purchasing?

Answer 1

$420

Explanation:

(100 - 40)x = 60x

60x - 20 = 40x

0.4x = $168

x = $168/0.4 = $420
