Question

The price of an item has been reduced by $2.07. The new sale price is $57.17. What was the original price?

Answer 1

If the items price was reduced $2.07, this means that this amount was subtracted from the original price.

So you can calculate the original price as the actual price plus the discounted amount:

Original price=$57.17 + $2.07= $59.24

The original price of the item is $59.24
