Question

Maria was shopping for a camera and found one that was on sale for 30% off. As she went to pay for it, the store announced an instant sale that took an additional 10% off all items. If the final price Maria paid was $207.27, what was the original price (before all discounts) of the camera? Possible Answers: $290.18 $329.00 $518.18 $767.67 $82.91​

Answer 1

$329.00

Explanation:

Let the original price be $x, then

x - 0.30x - 0.10(x - 0.30x) = 207.27

x - 0.30x - 0.10x + 0.03x = 207.27

0.63x = 207.27

x = 329.00.
