Larry buys a tent that is on sale for 25% off the original price. The original price is $80 more than the sale price. What is th

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The original price of the tent = $320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be =$ $x$

Discount offered = $25$ % of the orignal price = $\frac{25}{100}\times x=0.25\times x =\$ 0.25x$

Original price is $80 more than sale price

Discount = Original price - Sale price = $80

So, we have

$0.25x=80$

We need to solve for $x$ to find original price

Dividing both sides by $0.25$

$\frac{0.25}{0.25}x=\frac{80}{0.25}\\x=\$320$

∴ The original price of the tent = $320
