Question

Can someone tell me were I went wrong?

A different camera is selling for $7.50 off the regular price. It was discounted 15%. What was the original price of the camera?
A)$112.50
B)$75.00
C)$50.00
D)$45.00

Answer 1

I think the answer is C)!
$50.00

Answer 2

C) $50.00

Explanation:

$7.50 is the 15% discount

1% of the original price would be ($7.50 / 15)=0.50

100% of the original price would be 100 x 0.50 = $50.00
