Question

During a sale,all items in a departmental store are given 10% discount.A dress costs $ 83.25 during the sale.Find the original price of the dress before the sale.

Answer 1

Original price =$ 92.5

Explanation:

Let the original price of the dress be $x.

Since 10% discount is given on all items during sale in the departmental store.

Therefore,

Original price - 10% discount of original price = $ 83.25

`\therefore x - (10)/(100) x= 83.25\\\therefore x - 0.1x =83.25\\\therefore 0.9x = 83.25\\\therefore x = (83.25)/(0.9) \\\therefore x = \$92.5`
