Question

On Monday, the regular price of a widget was discounted by 25 percent. On Tuesday, the reduced price was discounted by 50 percent. If the final price was $60, what was the regular price?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Regular Price was $112.50

Explanation:

On Monday- Discounted -25% from original price

On Tuesday- Discounted -50% from the price from "Monday"

I am going to multiply

60 x 0.25 = $15

$15 was discounted from the original price so you should add it to 60

the price is 75 now. Next

We need to multiply 75 x 0.50 = $ 37.5

We do the same and add $37.5 to $75

Which equals = $112.5

The Regular Price was $112.50

Ask Me any questions in the comments so i can clarify myself.

Cheers!
