Answer 1

Answer:

$600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Orlo Jackman heard an ad on the radio for a weekend cruise to the Bahamas, available for $150 off the regular price this week only .

This discount reflected a 25% markdown

To Find : . What is the regular price of the cruise?

Solution :

Let the original price be x

Since we are given that discount reflected a 25% markdown

⇒$\frac{25}{100} x$  is the off

And we are also given that there is an off of 150

⇒$\frac{25}{100} x =150$

⇒$x =\frac{150*100}{25}$

⇒$x =600{25}$

Hence the original price of the cruise is $600

Answer 2

$600 because you must multiply. 150/ (25/100)... 1,500/25= 600
