Question

A tabel is on sale for 64% off the sale price is 280.80 what is the regular price

Answer 1

The table would cost $780

Explanation:

Since the table is 64% off, we know that we are paying 36% of the original price. So, we can divide the sale price by the percentage we are paying to get the original cost.

$280.80/36% = $780

Answer 2

Let the original price be x.

So, we have:

0.64x=280.80

Using a calculator, we get that x=$438.75
