Question

2. Suppose you pay $45.00 for an electronic game that has been discounted 15%. What is the original price of the electronic game to the nearest cent? Show how you arrived at your solution, check your work, and clearly state your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

15%=.15

P=(1-d)x

45=(1-.15)x = 52.94

$52.94 x 15%=7.94

52.94-7.94=$45

Answer 2

You need to divide 45 by .15
45/.15=300.
45 is 15 percent of 300.

Hope this helps.
