Question

Justin bought a calculator and binder that were both 15% off the original price. The original price of the binder was $6.20. Justin spent a total of $107.27. What was the original price of the calculator?

Answer 1

$120

Explanation:

Given that

The original price of the binder is $6.20

Total spent value = $107.27 after considering the 15% off

That means this is a 85% value but we have to find out 100% value so that the original price of calculator could come i.e

`= $107.27*(100)/(85)`

= $126.20

And, the original price of the binder is = $6.20

So, the original price of the calculator is

= Total original price - original price of the binder

= $126.20 - $6.20

= $120
