Question

H. Pete wants a new truck. The sale price is 15% lower than the original price. The sale price is $20,000. Write and evaluate an expression for the original price. Uses for sale price and p for original price.​

Answer 1

• SP=20000
• Discount=15%
• CP=?

100-15=85%=SP

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 85\%\times x=20000$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{85}{100}x=20000$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=20000\times \dfrac{100}{85}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=235.2(100)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto CP=23520$
