Question

At a sale this week, a table is being sold for $255. This is a 32% discount from the original price. What's the original price.

Answer 1

12$

Explanation:

Answer 2

$375

Explanation:

Sale price = original price - (markdown percentage)(original price), or

Sale price = (1 - markdown percentage)(original price

That 32% discount is equivalent to multiplying the original price by 0.32.

Here, $255 = (1 - 0.32)(original price), or

$255 = 0.68(original price)

Then (original price) = $255/0.68 = $375
