Question

A car dealership lowered all of its car prices by 15%. Given the above information, what was the original price of a car now priced at £9500?

Answer 1

the original price would be 9500+(0.15*9500)=10925

Answer 2

9,500 is 15% less than the original price.
So it must be 85% of the original price.

£9,500 = 0.85 P

Divide each side by 0.85 :

P = £9,500 / 0.85 = £11,176.47
