GamesOnly is having a “30% Off Everything!” sale. They have a PS4 on sale for $182. What was the original price?


I need to find how to put this equation into words... So I can understand how to solve it. My brain can't understand how that works, only how to find the percentage of a number. Like 12% of 15.

Worth 20 pts and brainliest.

Answer:

original price = 260

Step-by-step explanation:

original price * percent off = discount

then subtract the discount

original price - discount = new price

so

original price - original price * percent off = new price

factor out the original price

original price( 1- percent off) = new price

original price = new price/ ( 1- percent off)


lets put in what we know

original price = 182/(1-.30)

original price = 182/(.7)

original price = 260
