So, 252 is 1/5 of the total workforce then, the total or whole will then be 5/5 or 1 whole... well, if 252 is 1/5, what's 5/5?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&fraction\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
252&\frac{1}{5}\\\\
x&\frac{5}{5}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{252}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{5}}\implies \cfrac{252}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{1}\implies \cfrac{252}{x}=\cfrac{1}{5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{252\cdot 5}{1}=x$

An appliance store sells an oven for 25% off the original price. The sale price is $251.85, not including tax. What is the price

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$352.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Appliance store sold the oven for 25% off original price.

Sale price =$281.8

Price of the oven before the discount was applied is

= 25% /100% x $281.85

= 0.25 x $281.85

= $70.46

The appliance was sold at $70.46 less than the original price

Original price

= $70.46 + $281.85

= $352.31

HOPE THIS HELPS!
