Answer 1

Answer:

$599

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Discount- 40% off on original price.

           Gift card= $25

           Total cost before taxes is $334.40

Lets assume the original price be "x".

We know there is 40% on original price and Perry uses $25 gift card.

Remember; Total cost= $Original\ price- discount- gift\ card$

Now, finding the original price of Iphone.

⇒ $x-0.40x-25= 334.40$

⇒ $0.60x-25= 334.40$

Adding both side by 25

⇒$0.60x= 334.40+25$

⇒$0.60x= 359.4$

Dividing both side by 0.60

⇒ $x= \frac{359.4}{0.60}$

∴ $x= 599$

Hence, the original price of iphone is $599
