Answer 1

Okay we know that 40% of the net price, x , is this value of $1.44:

0.4x = $1.44
x = $3.60

I know that somebody has already answered, I just didn't feel he had laid it out very clearly so here you are, hope it helps :)

Answer 2

The net price of the article after a 40% discount is allowed is $2.4

Given:

let

Net price = x

Actual price paid = $1.44

percentage discount = 40%

Actual price paid = Net price - (percentage discount × Net price)

1.44 = x - (40% of x)

1.44 = x - (0.4 × x)

1.44 = x - 0.4x

1.44 = 0.6x

x = 1.44/0.6

x = 2.4

Therefore, the net price of the article after a 40% discount is allowed is $2.4
