Question

3) For what price is 15 percent off the same as $75 off?

Answer 1

Answer: $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

15% of y = 75

15/100 × y = 75

15y/100 = 75

Cross multiply

15y = 75 × 100

15y = 7500

y = 7500/15

y = 500.

Answer 2

$\text{In this question, you would need to find the right value that 15\% is \ 75}\\\\\text{You can do this by multiplying each number by 0.15}:\\\\200*0.15=30\\\\300*0.15=45\\\\350*0.15= 52.5\\\\500*0.15=75\\\\\text{You would see that 15\% of 500 is \ 75}\\\\\boxed{\ 500}$
