Question

Bob's Golf Palace had a set of 10 golf clubs that were marked on sale for $840. This was a discount of 10% off the original selling price,Step 1 of 4: What was the original selling price? Follow the problem-solving process and round your answer to the nearest cent, ifnecessary

Answer 1

Given the question in the question tab, the original selling price can be calculated by:

Step 1: State the price of the set after the discount has been given

`\text{Selling price (new)=\$840}`

Step 2: The 10% discount of the original price (p) will be:

`(10)/(100)* p=0.1p`

Step 3: The discount was removed from original price (p), so we have:

`p-0.1p=\text{Selling price (new)}`

Step 4: Write the new formula for the price, we have:

`\begin{gathered} p-0.1p=840 \\ 0.9p=840 \\ p=(840)/(0.9) \\ p=943.333333 \\ p\approx\text{\$}943.33 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the original selling price for the set of 10 golf clubs is approximately $943.33 to the nearest cent.
