Question

Sian bought a TV in the January sales which had been reduced by 20 per cent. If she paid £290 for it, what was the original price?

Answer 1

Let, the original price = x

Then, 290 would be 80% of Original price.

So, x * 80% = 290

x * 0.80 = 290

x = 290 / 0.80

x = 362.50

In short, Your Answer would be: £362.50

Hope this helps!
