Question

The phone case you want to buy is marked down 30%, and you have a 25% off coupon. You pay $42.00. Can this equation be used to find the original price of the phone case? If so, what is the original price of the item? 34(0.7c) = 42

help

Answer 1

The answer is $120.00

Explanation:

If 55% is the added percentage off of the price, 35% percent is equal to $42.00.

35/100 = 42/x (x being the original price)

Cross multiply to get 4200 = 35x

4200/35 = 120 = x

Answer 2

Yes, the original price of the phone case is $80.
