Question

In a sale, the normal price of a jacket is reduced by 15%

The normal price of the jacket is reduced by £19.50
Work out the normal price of the jacket.

Answer 1

Let's call the normal price of the jacket "x".

We know that the price was reduced by 15%, so we can set up an equation:

x - 0.15x = x(1-0.15) = 0.85x

We also know that the price was reduced by £19.50, so we can set up another equation:

x - 19.50 = 0.85x

Now we can solve for x:

0.15x = 19.50

x = 130

Therefore, the normal price of the jacket is £130.

Answer 2

130 is the regular price
