Question

In an '80% off' sale, an oven was £112. Work out the original price.

Answer 1

Answer:520

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the original prize is=x

If the discount is of 80%,the selling prize is of 20%

20% of x=112

20x/100=112

X=520

Its the original prize...

Answer 2

Answer:

£560

Step-by-step explanation:

80% off means that the sale price is 20% of the original price.

The original price is represented by 100%

Divide the sale price by 20 to find 1% then multiply by 100 to obtain the original price

original price = $\frac{112}{20}$ × 100 = £560
