Question

A book store is offering 10% off your total bill. If you owe $130.50 how much was your bill before the incentive

Answer 1

The answer is B. 145

To find the answer you divide 130.50 by the remaining of the 100%

So divide 130.5 by .9 if that makes sense.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

Your bill before the incentive was $145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

A book store is offering 10% off your total bill.

So, Cost after applying offer = $x-10\%x$

                                               = $x-\frac{10}{100}x$  

                                               = $\frac{90}{100}x$  

We are given that you owe $130.50

So,  $\frac{90}{100}x=130.50$  

$x=130.50 \times \frac{100}{90}$  

$x=145$  

So, Option B is true

Hence your bill before the incentive was $145
