Question

Sale price: $66.30 percent of discount: 65%
find the regular price​

Answer 1

$189.43

Explanation:

P = regular price

65% as a decimal =
`(65)/(100)` = .65

Discount = .65

To get the amount of the discount we would multiply P * .65

To find the sale price we subtract the discount from the original price.

Now we write our equation:

P - P(.65) = $66.30

Solve for P

P - P(.65) = $66.30

1P - P(.65) = $66.30

1P - .65P = $66.30

.35P = 66.30 Divide each side by .35

.35P.35 = 66.30/.35

P = 66.30/.35

P ≈ $189.43
