Question

Tracey paid $374.25 for a new iPad. What was the original cost if the iPad was on sale for 25% off

Answer 1

$467.8125

Explanation:

Percentage increase = 25% × 374.25

New value = 374.25 + Percentage increase

New value =

374.25 + Percentage increase =

374.25 + (25% × 374.25) =

374.25 + 25% × 374.25 =

(1 + 25%) × 374.25 =

(100% + 25%) × 374.25 =

125% × 374.25 =

125 ÷ 100 × 374.25 =

125 × 374.25 ÷ 100 =

46,781.25 ÷ 100 =

467.8125 ≈

467.81
