Question

A suit is on sale for 33% off the sale price is 536 what is the regular price

Answer 1

Answer: 800 was original price

Step-by-step explanation:

so The current price is 33 percent off

Lets say the original price was x, then the current price is (1-0.33)x = 0.67x

We also know that the current price is 536

So 0.67x = 536, x = 800

Answer 2

Answer: sale: 536

discount: 33%

33/100*536=

Step-by-step explanation:

1- I assume the cost of the suit is $536, not 536%.

So the % of the part times $536= Original price

Remember, $536 is 77% of the original price.

536x0.77=$696.10

Since the suit was 33% off, and since the sale price of the suit was $536

Then the suit was sold for 67% of its original price

Therefore, 67% of its original price (p) equals $536, or .67(p) = 536

.67p = 536

p = 536 � .67 = $800

Original price of suit was $800
