Question

Francis paid $36.54 for a computer software program after a fifteen percent discount was applied to the original selling price. What was the original price of the

software?

Answer 1

$42.02

Explanation:

15% discount therefore if you want to find the original price it would be 100% plus 15% = 115%

Multiply the percentage (convert to decimal first) with the discounted value:

1.15(36.54) = 42.021
