Larry pays $60.75 for a golf club that was discounted by 25%. What was the price of the golf club before the discount?

1 answer:

5 0

The price before the discount was $81.00

Given;
Discounted price = $60.75
discount rate = 25%

Since the price is already discounted, it means that it is already 75% of the original price. So, we divided the discounted price by its corresponding percentage.

Original price - discount = discounted price
100% - 25% = 75%

$60.75 ÷ 75 % = $81.00

$81.00 * 25% = 20.25 discount
$81.00 - 20.25 = 60.75 discounted price

$\frac{-1}{3} + \frac{-3}{5}$
You need to use the equation for adding fractions, which is $\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} =(ad+bc)/bd$

In this case, a=-1, b=3, c=-3, d=5.
