Question

Francis heard that a car stereo system was on sale for 30%off. If the sale price was %57.75, what was the original price of the stereo?

Answer 1

Original Price = Sale Price / ( 1 - Percent Off / 100 )

= 57.75 / (1 - 30/100)

= 57.75 / (1 - 0.3)

= 57.75 / 0.7

= $82.50

Original price = $82.50
