Question

Today only, a table is being sold at a 15% discount. The sale price is $629.What was the price yesterday?

Answer 1

The original price is $740.

`((100 - 15))/(100) = (629)/(x)`

`85x = 62900`

`62900 / 85 = x`

`x = 740`

Let me know if you need more help understanding. :)

Answer 2

The original price would be 740
Because
629/.85=740
Just to double check it
740(.15)=111
740-111=629
