Question

Enter an equation and an answer to the following question:

What is the original list price if the discount is $35 and the discount rate is 10%

Answer 1

35=x*10/100
x=10*35=350$

the original list price is $350

Answer 2

The original listed price is $ 350.

Explanation:

Since,

`\text{Discount percentage}}=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}}* 100`

`\implies \text{Marked price}=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Discount percentage}}* 100`

Here, Discount = $ 35 and discount percentage = 10 %,

Let x be the marked price or original listed price,

`\implies x = (35)/(10)* 100=350`

Hence, the original listed price is $ 350.
