Question

Noel bought a printer for $10 less than half its original price. If noel paid $88 for the printer, what was the original price?

Answer 1

$196

Explanation:

Step one

given data

We are told that Noel bought a printer for $10 less than half its original price

let the original price be x

hence Noel paid = x/2-10= 88

Step two

amount paid= x/2-10= 88

Collect like terms

x/2= 88+10

x/2= 98

cross multiply

x=196

Hence the original price is $196
