Question

A table is on sale for 27% off. The sale prince is $365. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

Sale price = $ 365

Discount percentage = 27 %

Let the regular price be $ x.

x - (27% of x) = 365


`x - (27)/(100)x = 365`


`(100x-27x)/(100) = 365`


`(73)/(100)x = 365`


`x = 365*(100)/(73)`


`x = 5 * 100`

x = 500

Hence, the regular price was $ 500.
