The price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount
To find: The price of the tablet before the discount
Let "a" be the price of the tablet before the discount or original price
After receiving a 25 percent discount means 25 percent discount in original price
Discount = 25 % of original price
Discount = 25 % of "a"
Now we can say that,
<em>price of tablet after discount = price of the tablet before the discount - discount</em>
2000 = a - 0.25a
0.75a = 2000
a = 2666.67 ≈ 2667
Thus the price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667
