Question

A store has a 40% off sale oh headphones. With the discount the price of one pair of headphones is 36$ What is the original price of the pair of headphones

Answer 1

Answer: $90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost be represented by x

From the question, it was given that the cost of headphones at 40% discount is $36

Thus, 40% discount = $36

100% = x

Then, convert to decimal

40% = 40/100 = 0.4

100% = 100/100 = 1

Therefore, 0.4 = $36

1 = $x

0.4x = $36

Divide both sides by 0.4

x = $36/0.4

x= $90

Original cost of the headphone was $90.

I hope this helps.
