Question

Anne bought a television for 75% off she spent 24 dollars what was the original price

Answer 1

the original price was "x", which oddly enough is the 100%.

now, we know the TV is 75% off, that means the sale price is 100% - 75% = 25%, and we know that's 24 bucks.

`\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 24& 25 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{24}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{25} \implies \cfrac{ x }{ 24 } ~~=~~ 4\implies x=96`
