Hometown Cable has the 'Triple Play' package. It offers a land line. Internet service, and cable TV for one fixed price. If you already subscribe to their cell phone service, they offer and additional 12% off the price of the 'Triple Play' package. If the DISCOUNTED price of the 'Triple Play' package is $132, what is the price of the package WITHOUT the discount? (Hint: What % of the original price is the discounted price?)

Answer:

the price of the package without the discount is $150

Explanation:

The computation of the price of the package without the discount is shown below:

Let us assume the price without discount be x

So after discount it would be x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Now the equation would be

0.88x = $132

x = $132 ÷ 0.88

= $150

hence, the price of the package without the discount is $150

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
