Question

An appliance store decreases the price of a​ 19-in. television set ​28% to a sale price of $435.60.What was the original​ price?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the original price of the television set.

The sale price is 28% off the original price, which means that the sale price is equal to 100% - 28% = 72% of the original price.

So we can write an equation based on this information:

0.72x = 435.60

Solving for x, we get:

x = 435.60 / 0.72

x ≈ $605

Therefore, the original price of the television set was approximately $605.
