Question

Tannin and Dax bought a new video game for $48 to use the coupon for 25% off how much would the game cost if they paid full price

Answer 1

$64

Explanation:

After using a 25% discount coupon, they paid 48 for the video game.

It means, which number, decreased by 25%, would give us 48?

First, 25% to decimal is:

25/100 = 0.25

Now, if we let the original price be "x", we can say:

x decreased by 0.25 of x would give us 48

Translating this to algebraic equation gives us:

x - 0.25x = 48

Now, we solve this:

`x - 0.25x = 48\\0.75x=48\\x=(48)/(0.75)\\x=64`

If they paid full price, the video game would cost $64
