Question

James pays $120.00 for golf clubs that are on sale for 20% off at Golf Pros. At Nine Iron, the same clubs cost $8.00 less than the sales price at Golf Pros. They are on sale for 13% off at Nine Iron. What is the original cost of the clubs at Nine Iron? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

The original price of the clubs will be $135.

If the clubs at Nine Iron are $8 less than Golf Pros, they are 112.
120 - 8 = 112

Now, we just have to find the original price. We can write and solve the equation below to find the original price.

x (0.83) = 112    Divide both sides by 0.83

x = $135
