Question

Rachel paid $58 for a Blu-ray player that was on sale. She only paid 80% of the original cost. What was the original cost of the Blu-ray player?

Answer 1

$72.50

Explanation:

To find the price of the original Blu-ray player, we first divide the price that Rachel paid by 8 , then multiply the result by 10 to get the full price.

58 / 8 = $7.25

$7.25 x 10 = $72.50
