Question

Todd bought a game for $36 with a coupon for 25% off. How much would it have cost without the coupon?

Answer 1

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

If $36= 25% OFF, that means that $36=75% of the WHOLE

We can just set up a proportion and then solve to get 100%, or the original price.

36=75%

x=100%

There are multiple ways we can solve this, but cross multiplying is really easy. So, after cross multiplying you get 3600=75x, x=48$$$$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x*0.75=36

x=36/0.75=48 $
