Question

Griffin’s General Store is having a 30% off sale on fans. Robert paid $25 for a fan. What is the original price of the fan?

Answer 1

$35.71

Explanation:

The statement indicates that Robert paid $25 for a fan and that it had a 30% discount. To be able to determine the original price, you have to divide the the price with the discount by the result of 1 minus the discount.

Original price= 25/(1-0.3)

Original price= 25/0.7

Original price= 35.71

According to this, the answer is that the original price of the fan is $35.71.

Answer 2

The original price of the fan is $35.71

Explanation:

Since Griffin’s General Store is having a 30% off sale on fans, it simply means that fans are paying for (100%-30%)= 70%.

Let the original price be x;

Therefore, 70% of x equal to $25;

`(70)/(100)x=25`

70/100x = 25

0.7x = 25

`x = (25)/(0.7)`

x = 35. 71

Hence, The original price of the fan is $35.71
