Question

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, WORTH 50 POINTS: The Game Stop is having a sale and all games are reduced by 55%. If a game is now $29.99, what was the original price? ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO THE NEAREST CENT.

Answer 1

46.99$, because 29.99 plus 55% gives you that number

Answer 2

The original price was $66.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The price is reduced by 55% so all the games are sold for 45%.

Let the cost of game be x,

45% × x = $29.99

0.45 × x = $29.99

x = $29.99/0.45

x = $66.644...

x = $66.64 (rounded to nearest cent)
