Question

Bryan paid a sale price of $45 for a video game. What is the original price if the discount was 25% off?

Answer 1

The original price is $60

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price, SP = $45

Discount rate = 25%

Original price,y = ?

We know:

Discount = Marked price - selling price

Discount = y - 45

Discount % = $\frac{discount}{marked price} X 100$

$\frac{25}{100} = \frac{y -45}{y} \\\\y = 4(y - 45)\\\\y = 4y - 180\\\\180 = 3y\\\\y = 60$

Therefore, the original price is $60
