Question

Terry sees this offer refurbished phone 35% off now only ?78 what was the original price

Answer 1

Answer:

$223.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of phone.          

We are told that Terry sees this offer refurbished phone 35% off now only $78.

We need to find x such that 35% of x is 78. We can represent this information as:

$\frac{35}{100} x=78$

$0.35 x=78$

$x=\frac{78}{0.35}$    

$x=222.8571428571428571\approx 223$

Therefore, the original price of phone was $223.
