After receiving a 45% discount, Mark bought a new camera for $245.99. What was the cost of the camera before the discount

Answer 1

Answer: $546.60 (*this was the actual number but I rounded it $546.644444444)

Explanation:

Divide: $245.99/0.45 = 546.644444444

You can double check your answer by multiplying 546.644444444 by 0.45 and you will get $245.99

If you multiply by $546.60 you will get $245.97 since you rounded
