Question

Nate is selling a DVD of one performance for $19.99. This is the price after a discount of 25%. What was the original price of the DVD?

Answer 1

$26.65

Explanation:

Given

Sale Price = $19.99 is the price after a 25% discount.

This means that $19.99 represents 100% - 25% = 75% of the total original price.

75% of original price ---> $19.99

1% of original price ----> $(19.99 ÷ 75)

100% of original price -----> $(19.99 ÷ 75) x 100 = $26.65

Answer 2

Exact: $79.96 Rounded: $80.00

Explanation:

25% x 4 = 100%

thus $19.99 x 4 = $79.96. Rounded up to $80.00
