Answer: $45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original rice of the carousel = $x
Therefore cost Price = $36
Discount is 80% of the original price $x = $36
To calculate x , we find 80% of $x and equate to $36
= ⁸⁰/₁₀₀ ˣ $x
= 80x/100
80x/100 = 36
Now, multiply through by 100 and divide by 80
80x = 3600
x = $45.
The original price of the carousel = $45.
