Answer:
£320 000
Explanation:
Let x = original price of the boat.
When you reduce a price by 15%, what percent remains in the sale price?
100% - 15% = 85%
After reducing the price of the boat by 15%, the sale price is 85% of the original price.
85% of x = £272 000
0.85x = 272 000
Divide both sides by 0.85
x = 320 000
Answer: £320 000
