Question

The discount on a new computer was $150. This was a discount of 23 %. Step 1 of 3: What was the original selling price of the computer? Follow the problem-solving process and round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary​

Answer 1

So there is an unknown number to the original price so we replace this as x,

23% of the original price will equal your new discount, now lets write it!:

23/100 x X = 150

x100 x100

23x = 15,000

Divide by 23 on both sides:

x = 652.173 around 652.17 dollars was the original price.

Answer 2

So, the answer is 652.17
