Question

Magan bought an electric bill at 85% of the regular price she paid $32.89 for the drill what was the regular price

Answer 1

$38.69

Explanation:

To find the regular price, create a proportion.

`(32.89)/(x)=(85)/(100)`

To solve for the regular price x, cross multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction.

32.89*(100) = x(85)

3289=85x

38.69 = x
