Question

Pamela bought an electric drill at 85% of the regular price. She paid 32.89 for the drill. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find 85% of the price, 32.89 x .85 = 27.9565

Step 2: Round, because prices only go 2 places round 27.9565 into 27.96

Step 3: Add them together, 32.89 + 27.96 = 60.85

So the regular price of the drill is 60.85
