Question

During a closeout sale, some television models are discounted 40%. What was the original price to the nearest dollar of a television that now costs $1,485?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,475

Step-by-step explanation:

1485/6= 247.5     247.5 x 10 = 2,475  

You take out the zero's so you get $1,485 = 60% of the original price, so 1485 divided by 6. Then you take the number you get and times it by 10 and then you get the answer.

Answer 2

Based on the current cost and the discount, the original price of the television was $2,475.

The cost of the television now is $1,485 which is a discounted price of 40%.

Assuming the original price was x, the equation is:

Present cost = Original price x (1 - discount)

Solving gives:

1,485 = x × (1 - 40%)

1,485 = 0.6x

x = 1,485 / 0.6

x = $2,475

The original price was therefore $2,475.
