Question

GamesOnly is having a “30% Off Everything!” sale. They have a PS4 on sale for $182. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer:

original price = 260

Step-by-step explanation:

original price * percent off = discount

then subtract the discount

original price - discount = new price

so

original price - original price * percent off = new price

factor out the original price

original price( 1- percent off) = new price

original price = new price/ ( 1- percent off)

lets put in what we know

original price = 182/(1-.30)

original price = 182/(.7)

original price = 260
