After receiving a discount of 7.5% on its bulk order of ink, Johns Office Supplies pays $3,330. What was the price of the ink before the discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3547.50

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5% of 3300 is 247.50 so add that back onto the 3300 and u get ur total

Answer 2

Answer:

Original price = discount ÷ (100 - %)

4,995 ÷ (100 - 7.5)

4,995 ÷ 0.925 = $5,400

Check our work:

Discount = original price × discount rate - product

5,400 × 0.075 = 405

5,400 - 405 = 4,995

The price before the discount was $5,400.
