Question

Kirby is buying a new gas grill that has been reduced for end of summer sales by 10% to $558. What was the original price of the grill?

Answer 1

Given:

Discount price is $558 and the discount percentage is 10%.

Let x be the original amount.

`558=x*(90)/(100)`
`x=558*(100)/(90)`
`x=(55800)/(90)`
`x=620`

Therefore,the original cost of the gas grill is $620.
