Question

A sofa is on sale for 76% off. the sale price is 153.60. what is the regular price?

Answer 1

The regular price of the sofa can be calculated using the information provided.

Let's start by assuming that the regular price of the sofa is represented by "x". Since the sofa is on sale for 76% off, this means that the sale price is equal to 100% - 76% = 24% of the regular price.

To find the sale price, we can set up the following equation:

0.24x = 153.60

To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.24:

x = 153.60 / 0.24

Performing the calculation:

x = 640

Therefore, the regular price of the sofa is $640.

Answer 2

howdy!

the regular price is $640

to find the regular price of the sofa, you can use the following equation:

regular price - (discount percentage * regular price) = sale price

let R represent the regular price, and D represent the discount percentage (76% as a decimal is 0.76), and S represent the sale price (153.60).

so, the equation becomes:

R - (0.76 * R) = 153.60

now, lets solve for R:

R - 0.76R = 153.60

0.24R = 153.60

to isolate R, divide both sides by 0.24:

R = 153.60 / 0.24

R = 640

so, the regular price of the sofa is $640.
