Question

After a 20% price reduction a cell phone sold for $77. Find the original price of the phone

Answer 1

I think the original price of the phone was 96.25, correct me if I’m wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

let the original price be x

x-20/100*x = 77

or, x-2/10*x=77

or, (10-2x)/10=77

or,10x-2x=77*10

or,8x=770

or,x=770/8

x=96.25
