Question

There is sales of 40% off of the original price. If a mobile phone has a sale price of $180, what was the original price? Choose the correct answer.

A) $200
B) $280
C) $300
D) 320$

Answer 1

$300

Explanation:

If the phone has a discount of 40% that means it cost 60% of the original price

X= original price (100%)

$180 = 60% of the original price

X = 100%

CROSS MULTIPLICATION

60X = 180x100

60X = 18000

Divide both sides by 60

X = 300

Answer 2

100%-40%=60%
60%=180
100%=? 180*100:60=300$ c)
