A chess set is on sale for $75.00, which is 40% off of its original price. What was the original price of the chess set?

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{1}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ \frac{1}{2} \times 2}$

Multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 1} }}$
