Question

A shop owner offered a 20%discount off the regular price of a mirror.The amount of the discount is $3.00

Answer 1

20% of 3.00 dollars would be $0.60 so the price will then be $2.40

Answer 2

A) $15

Explanation:

let x represent the regular price of the mirror

so, 20% of x = 3

20/100 * x = 3

20x = 300

x = 300/20

x = 15

Hence, the regular price of the mirror is $15
