A surfboard is on sale for 60%

sale price is $199.00

Let the original price be x then

we can write

[tex] \\
\
x-\frac{60}{100}x=199\\
\\
\
\Rightarrow \frac{100x-60x}{100}=199\\
\\
\
\Rightarrow \frac{40x}{100}=199\\
\\
\
\Rightarrow 40x=199*100\\
\\
\
\Rightarrow x=\frac{19900}{40}=497.5\\ [/tex]
