Question

A pair of shorts are £15 in a 40%. What was the non-sale price

Answer 1

£10.71

Explanation:

Given the original price including discount od shorts = £15

Percent discount = 40%

Original price = x

Using the expression to calculate x

x + (40%of x) = 15

x +0.4x = 15

1.4x = 15

x = 15/1.4

x = £10.71

Hence the non sale price is £10.71
