Question

The discount on a bicycle is 20%. It is on sale for $89.90. What

is the original price of the bicycle? (pls help its for my math hw and include the step process)

Answer 1

• The original price of the bicycle is $112.38

--------------------------

Let the original price of the bicycle be x.

Set up an equation to reflect the discount:

• x - 20% = 89.90

Solve the given equation for x:

• x - 0.2x = 89.90
• 0.8x = 89.90
• x = 89.90/0.8
• x = 112.38 (rounded to full cent)

Hence the original price is $112.38.
