Question

nter an equation and an answer to the following question: What is the original list price if the discount is $25 and the discount rate is 12%?

Answer 1

Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price

.12 * x = 25

In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides

x = 25/.12

After you divide, you should get the number 208.33

25/.12 = 208.33

So, the original list price is $208.33

Answer 2

Answer:

$208.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the original list price is x.

Now if the discount is $25 and the discount rate is 12%, we can write it as:

Discount rate = $= \frac{12}{100}$ = 0.12

So we get the following equation:

$0 . 1 2 x = 2 5$

$x = \frac { 2 5 } { 0 . 1 2 }$

x = $208.3

Therefore, the original list price will be $208.3 .
