Question

4) A TV is on sale. The TV has been reduced by 20%. The sale price is £540. What was the

original price of the TV?

Answer 1

675

Explanation:

If the price is 20 % off, then we will pay 100-20 = 80 percent of the original price

Let x be the original price

x* 80% = 540

Change to decimal form

x * .80 = 540

Divide each side by .80

.80x / .80 = 540/.80

x =675

The original price is 675
