Prices and Discounts

Given Data

Discount = 5%

Amount paid = £551

Let the normal price be x

let us find 5% of x

= 5/100 *x

=0.05x

Hence the discounted amount is £0.05x

We know that the amount paid = Normal Price - Discount

Substituting our data

551 = x-0.05x

551 = 0.95x

Divide both sides by 0.95

x = 551/0.95

x =  £580
