Question

Find the original price A bracelet cost $36 after a 25% discount what was the original price

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the bracelet cost is $36 after 255 discount.

Now,

If 25% discount are applied and paid $36

That means:

`100\%-25\%=75\%`

Means, 75% discount are applied.

Now,

Let price be the x

So,

`\begin{gathered} 75\%x=36 \\ (75)/(100)x=36 \end{gathered}`

Then,

`\begin{gathered} (75)/(100)x=36 \\ (3)/(4)x=36 \\ 3x=36*4 \\ x=(36*4)/(3) \\ x=12*4 \\ x=48 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the original price was $48.
