Question

There is a 10% off sale on laptop computers. If someone saves $35 on a laptop, what was its original cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The original cost is $350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

original cost of computer is x

There is a 10% off sale on laptop computers

So, amount saved is

$=\frac{10}{100}x=0.10x$

now, we are given

someone saves $35 on a laptop

so, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

$0.10x=35$

we can divide both sides by 0.10

and we get

$x=350$

So,

The original cost is $350
