Question

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $312. This is a 35% discount from the original price.

Answer 1

Answer:

$480

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price be x

{Original price - discount amount = sale price}

So, x - (x * 35/100) = 312

x - 35x/100 = 312

100x - 35x / 100 = 312

65x/100 = 312

65x = 31200

x = 31200/65

x = $480

So I think the original price of desk was $480

Answer 2

The original price I believe would be $349.44
