Question

Today only, a table is being sold at a 24% discount. The sale price is 475$ What was the price yesterday?

Answer 1

Answer $625:

Explanation:

Since the discount is 24% that means that $475 is 76% of the total

X is the 100% of the price (before sale)

475...............76%

x..........................100%

cross multiplication

76x = 475x100

76x = 47500

Divide both sides by 76

x= 625
