Question

Find the original price if the sale price of the cell phone is $205.50

Answer 1

Answer:

$293.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: A cell phone is on sale for 30% off. Find the original price if the sale price of the cell phone is $205.50.

Given: Sale price of cell phone is $205.50

           Discount= 30%

As 30% discount is given on original price or we can say 70% of original price is $205.50.

∴ Let the original price be x.

⇒ $\frac{70}{100} \times x= 205.50$

Now, cross multiplying both side.

⇒ $x= \frac{100}{70} \times 205.5$

∴ x= $293.6

The original price of cell phone is $293.6.
