Question

Jeff saved 30% on an LCD TV. and paid $665. How much was the original price?

Answer 1

To find the original price of the LCD TV before the 30% discount, you can set up an equation.

Let "x" be the original price.

Jeff saved 30%, which means he paid 70% of the original price (100% - 30% = 70%).

So, you can write the equation:

0.70x = $665

Now, solve for "x" by dividing both sides by 0.70:

x = $665 / 0.70

x ≈ $950

The original price of the LCD TV was approximately $950.
