Question

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $133 . This is 35% of the original price.

What is the original price?

Answer 1

392.35

Explanation:

35% + 35% is 70 % so 133 +133 is 70 % witch is 269.

next we need to figure out 30 percent and they give us 35 % so. you add to zeros to 30 because percentage is out of 100 and there are 2 zeros in 100. so it look like this

3000 ÷ 133 = 22.56 is 30% of 133

70% + 30% = 100%

269 + 22.56= 291.56 is your answer
