Answer 1

The price of tablet was $250 before mark down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mark down = 15%

Price after mark down = $212.50

As price is marked down 15% from 100%, we can say that

(100-15)% = 85% is the price after markdown.

Let,

x be the original price.

Therefore,

85% of x = 212.50

$\frac{85}{100}x=212.50\\0.85x=212.50$

Dividing both sides by 0.85

$\frac{0.85x}{0.85}=\frac{212.50}{0.85}\\x=250$

The price of tablet was $250 before mark down.
