Question

A shop owner gave a 25% discount off the regular price of a table. The amount of the discount is $5.

What was the regular price of the mirror? (before discount)

Answer 1

$20

Explanation:

let the regular price of the mirror be 'x'

x*25/100=5

25x/100=5

cross multiply

25x=500

divide both sides by 25

x=$20
