Question

Miss Jameson ordered a

case of 16 calculators,
which she got for half
price. Shipping was $12,
which brought the total
to $100. What is the full
price for a case?

Answer 1

The full price was $176.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, solve backwards. Since the total is $100, you subtract $12 from it, which leaves you with $88. You then multiply $88 by 2 (for the half price).
