Question

A store has a 40%, percent off sale on headphones. With this discount, the price of one pair of headphones is 36$.

What is the original price of the pair of headphones?

Answer 1

The original price of the headphones is $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price of the headphones, we can set up the equation:

Original price - (40% of original price) = $36

Let's represent the original price as x. We then have:

x - (0.4 * x) = $36

Simplifying the equation, we get:

0.6x = $36

Dividing both sides by 0.6, we find:

x = $60

Therefore, the original price of the pair of headphones is $60.

Answer 2

The original price is $60.00

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 40% off sale on headphones.

After discount the price of one pair of headphones = $36.00

Let the original price of the pair of headphones be x

after 40% discount the value of headphone left = 60%

so, 60% of x = $36.00

= x = 36.00 ÷ 0.60 = $60.00

The original price of the pair of headphones is $60.00.
