Wayland purchased new speakers that were on sale for 30% of the regular price. He saved $36 which is 30% off. What is the regular price of the speakers when they were not on sale?

Answer:

Explanation:

First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.

Then consider the rate of discount.

To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.

To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.
