Question

Elizabeth has a 15% discount coupon for a furniture store. She sees a new couch that she wants to buy. After the 15% discount was applied, Elizabeth paid $2,210 for the couch. What was the original price of the couch?

Answer 1

To answer this since the discount is 15% the retail is 75% so you would put it in a ratio or part over whole so .75=2210 and 100%=x so then you would divide 2210 by .75 and you get 2946 but I’m not sure so...
