Answer: $372
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original retail price be 'x'
Therefore, using the give information, we can form the following equation:
50/100x = 186
Now, solve for x
50/100x = 186
1/2x = 186
x = 186 * 2
x = 372
The original retail price is $372.
Check:
50/100(372) = 186
1/2(372) = 186
186 = 186
Yes they are equal because lets say the rectangle's area is 14 and if you divide 14 into 2 it will be 7 and 7+7=14
The answer is 5/9
