Answer:
The total price before discount was £63.
The price of the watch before discount was £25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total original price before discount be x.
The total of £53.55 included a 15% discount. That means he paid only 85% of the original total price before the discount.
85% of x = £53.55
0.85x = 53.55
x = 63
The total before discount was £63.
£63 - £38 = £25
The total price before discount was £63.
The price of the watch before discount was £25.
