Question

Store decreased its price on a computer by $112 to $478. What was the original price

Answer 1

Well if it's $112 less and the price is now $478. You just have to add $112 to $478= $590.

Answer 2

$590.

Explanation:

Let x be the original price of computer.

We have been given that a store decreased its price on a computer by $112 to $478.

This means x minus 112 equals to 478. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`x-\$112=\$478`

Let us add $112 to both sides of our equation.

`x-\$112+\$112=\$478+\$112`

`x=\$590`

Therefore, the original price of computer was $590.
