Question

Jimmy's new cell phone cost him $50 when he signed a 2-year plan,

which was 75% off the original price. What was the original price

Answer 1

$200

Explanation:

Let's set up an equation:

x-75%x=$50

25%x=$50

Converting it into a fraction makes the math easier

25/100x=$50

Simplify the fraction

1/4x=$50

Multiply 40 to both sides

x=$200
