Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I got this

Last year’s computer models are discounted 20%. If a computer is on sale for $1,480, what is the original price of the computer rounded to the nearest dollar?

20% = 0.2

1,480 x 0.2 = 296

1,480 + 296 = 1,776

Answer: 1,776

Again, I don't know if this is correct, so don't be 100% sure with my response.

Answer 2

$1850

Explanation:

If the Original price was $ X , Then

`x - 0.20x \: = 1480`

`0.8x = 1480`

`x = 1480 / 0.8`

So , X = 1850 dollars .

Hope this helps you !!!
