2. A computer is on sale for $1146. If the original price was reduced by 40%, what was the original price of the computer?
The original price of the computer was $_______.

Answer 1

Answer: $1,910

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{New-Original}{Original}=Change$

New = $1146

Original = x

Change = 40% discount --> -0.40

$\dfrac{1146-x}{x}=-0.40\\\\\\1146-x=-0.40x\\\\\\1146=x-0.60x\\\\\\1146=0.60x\\\\\\\dfrac{1146}{0.60}=x\\\\\\\large\boxed{1910}=x$
