Question

12-packs of Skwunch apple juice cost $3.00 after a 40% discount. Which equation would allow you to find the original price of the 12-pack?

Answer 1

0.6x=3 would be the equation that would allow you to find the original price.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Let x be the original price.

Discount percentage = 40%

Price after discount = $3

So, x -
`(40)/(100) x` = 3

`(100x-40x)/(100)` = 3

`(60x)/(100)` = 3

`x = 3((100)/(60) )`

`x=(100)/(20)`

x = 5

Hence, the equation that would allow us to find the original price is 0.6x = 3.
