Question

The discount on a toy is 40% the toy robot is on sale for $54 find the original price

Answer 1

The original price is $90.

Explanation:

100% - 40% = 60%

`(54)/(y) :(60)/(100)`

y × 60 = 54 × 100

60y = 5400

60y ÷ 60 = 5400 ÷ 60

y = 90

Answer 2

90

Explanation:

If the discount is 40%, we are still paying 100-40% or 60 %

original price * 60% = sale price

original price * .6 = 54

Divide each side by .6

original price = 54/.6

original price =90
