Question

if l brought a computer for $1500.00 and used my 75% off coupon. How much was the computer originally?

Answer 1

$6000

Explanation:

So, we know that

$1500 = 25%

We find 1% by taking

1500 divided by 25% = $60

We have to find the 75% off by taking

60 times 75 = $4500

Then we have to find the original price by taking

4500 + 1500 = $6000

So, the original price is $6000

Answer 2

$6000

Explanation:

The total cost is 100%

The discount was 75%

then:

100% - 75% = 25%

The percentage paid was:

25%

then:

$1500 ⇒ 25%

$A ⇒ 100%

A = 1500*100/25 = 6000

A = $6000
