Question

today only, a sofa is being sold at a 36% discount. The sale price is $560. what was the price yesterday?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let yesterday's price be x

Discount percentage = 36%

Sale price = $ 560

(100-36)% of x = 560

64 % *x = 560

`(64)/(100)*x=560\\\\x=560*(100)/(64)\\\\x=875`

Yesterday's price = $ 875
