Answer 1

To find the price at which the article was sold after a 15% discount, divide the final price by 0.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price at which the article was sold, we need to calculate the original price before the discount was applied. Let x be the original price.

Since the customer received a 15% discount, he paid 85% of the original price. This can be represented as: 85% of x = 510.

To solve for x, we divide 510 by 0.85: 510 ÷ 0.85 = 600.

So, the price at which the article was sold was ₢600.
