Question

Using a "15% off" coupon, Dianne saved $12.75 on a new chair for her home office. What was the chair's regular price? How much did she pay?​

Answer 1

The original price was $85

She spent $72.25

Explanation:

When x equals the price of the chair:

12.75/15 = x/100

15 x = 1275

x = $85

To find the price she paid:

85 - 12.75 = $72.25
