Question

Zach bought a video game that was 30% off. He paid $40 for the video game. How much was the game ORIGINALLY? (40 is the AMOUNT PAID so what Percent was me use to match that PART?)

Answer 1

57.14$

Explanation:

70/100 ( Remember 30% off so only paid 70% of original price) = 40/x ( 40$ is the price paid, x is the unknown original price)

70 = 40

100 X

40×100 = 4,000

4,000÷ 70X = 57.14
