Question

An electronics store had a sale in which it decreased all its prices by 24%.

Tom bought a television which had been reduced by $85. Work out how much Tom paid for the television.

Please would you show working out, thanks

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the Original price = $ x

24% of x = $85

`(24)/(100)*x=85\\\\x=(85*100)/(24)\\\\`

x = $ 354.17

Amount paid by Tom = 354.17 - 85 =$ 269.17
