Question

A bracelet cost $36 after a 25% discount find the original price

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price be x

So we then reduce the price by 25%.

So what is 25% of x? Well, 25% is 25 percent. PERCENT is Latin: PER CENT....out of 100. So 25 out of 100 is 25/100 --> 0.25.

So 0.25 of x means 0.25x. This is the amount we took off, to reduce the price.

So we had ORIGINAL less REDUCTION = new price

--> x - 0.25x = 36

--> 1x - 0.25x = 36

--> 0.75x = 36

--> x = 36/0.75

--> x = 48

Tell me if i am wrong?

Answer 2

Answer:

.75? A pair of jeans sells for $36 after a 25% discount. What is the original price of the jeans? x-0.25x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

$36. Explanation: To find the sale price we can set up a proportion. 25/100 = x/48. ... Then we subtract this discount from the original price yielding 48 – 12 = 36; thus, she ... This cost will be equal to the percent remaining after the discount.
