Question

A store advertises that it is offering a 14% discount on all articles purchased at the store if Roberto pays $670.80 for an article, what was the marked price of the article?

Answer 1

$780

Explanation:

The final price of an item can be calculated with the formula P = A(1-r), where P is the final price, A is the original amount, and r is the rate (as a decimal).

Using the given information, this gives you 670.80 = A(1-0.14).

Simplify the right side, then divide 670.80 by that number.

You can check by multiplying 780x0.14=109.20, and subtract that from 780.
