Question

A pro bowling shop is dropping the price on bowling balls 24% to a sale price of 134.20. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Okay so the discount price is 76% of the original price so to find the original price you'd take the discount price and divide it by 76 to find 1% of the original, you could then multiply the 1% by 100 to find the original price.

134.2/76=1.765789473684211     100(1.765789473684211)=176.58. 

So the answer is that the original price was $176.58
