Question

Solve the equation 0.80p = 320 to find the original price

Answer 1

Divide each term by 0.80.8 and simplify.p=400p=400

Answer 2

Original price is 400

Explanation:

We need to solve where p is the price.

Dividing both sides by 0.80

`(0.80p)/(0.80)=(320)/(0.80)\\\\p=(320* 100)/(0.080* 100)\\\\p=(320* 100)/(80)\\\\p=(4* 80* 100)/(80)\\\\p=4* 100\\\\p=400`

Original price is 400
