Question

Four sisters and bought a present for their father. They received a 10% discount on the original price of the gift. After the discount was taken, each sister paid $9.00. What was the original price of the gift?

Answer 1

each sister paid 9 bucks....there are 4 sisters....so thats (4 * 9) = 36 bucks.

they received a 10% discount....so they paid 90%

90% of the total gift is $ 36...
0.90x = 36
x = 36/0.90
x = 40 <=== ur answer
