Question

wayne buys an hd television for $466 that was marked down 33 and 1/3% from the list price. what is the list price of tv set

Answer 1

$665.71

Explanation:

First, change the percent to a fraction; 3/10.

Take the full price and subtract the discount:

10/10 - 3/10 = 7/10

Set up an equation.

466 = (7/10) * x

x = list price of the TV

multiply both sides by 10.

466*10 = 7*x

divide both sides by 7

4660/7 = x

simplify.

x = 665.71
