Question

A local furniture store having a sale where all the couches are marked down 25% from the original price. if you don't want to spend more than $450 on the couch (ignoring the sales tax), what is the highest acceptable original price? round your answer to the nearest two decimal digits and express your answer without the $ sign (e.g., 1234.25, not $1234.25)

Answer 1

If markdown is 25%,then 450.00 = 75%
450.00÷.75=600.00
600.00 is the highest amount of a couch you can spend to pay 450.00 before sales tax.
