Question

2. A computer is on sale for $1146. If the original price was reduced by 40%, what was the original price of the computer?

The original price of the computer was $_______.

Answer 1

Answer: $1,910

Explanation:

`(New-Original)/(Original)=Change`

New = $1146

Original = x

Change = 40% discount --> -0.40

`(1146-x)/(x)=-0.40\\\\\\1146-x=-0.40x\\\\\\1146=x-0.60x\\\\\\1146=0.60x\\\\\\(1146)/(0.60)=x\\\\\\\large\boxed{1910}=x`
