Question

The price of a tent was decreased by 15% and sold for $86.49.

What was the original price of the tent in dollars?

Quantity = 886.49
Percent = 15%
Whole = X

What is the whole of the equation ?

Answer 1

`x \cdot (1-0.15) = 86.49`

`x \cdot 0.85 = 86.49`

`x = (86.49)/(0.85)`

`\implies x = 101.75`
