Answer 1

$352.31

Explanation:

Appliance store sold the oven for 25% off original price.

Sale price =$281.85

Price of the oven before the discount was applied is

= 25% /100% x $281.85

= 0.25 x $281.85

= $70.46

The appliance was sold at $70.46 less than the original price

Original price

= $70.46 + $281.85

= $352.31

Answer 2

Answer: The price of the oven before the discount is applied is $335.8

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

• Discount: 25% = 0.25 (25/100=0.25 , decimal form)
• Sale price = 251.85
• Original price: x

So, if we multiply the original price by 0.75 (full price percentage- discount percentage) we will obtain the sale price:

x (1-0.25) = 251.85

Solving for x:

x 0.75 = 251.85

x = 251.85/0.75

x= $335.8
