2) The Fleabag had a sale on Indian Shorts at which all shirts should at 15% off case purchased a shirt for $7.65. What was the original selling Price?

Respuesta :

discount = 15 %

Price paid = $7.65

Original price (x) minus the discount amount (0.15x) must be equal to the price paid. ($7.65)

x-(0.15x ) = 7.65

x-0.15x =7.65

Solve for x

0.85x = 7.65

x = 7.65/ 0.85

x = 9

Original price $9

check:

Replace 9 in the equation:

9- (9 x 0.15 ) = 7.65

9- 1.35 =7.65

7.65 = 7.65
