Question

After receiving a 25% discount, Sue paid $180 for a lawnmower. What is the original price of the lawnmower before the discount?

Question 4 options:

$245


$225


$240


$220


$215

Answer 1

100 * 180 / 75
= $240

Answer 2

Answer:

$240

Step-by-step explanation:

180 = original price - discount

180  =  OP  - OP x.25

180= OP(1-.25)

180 = OP x .75              divide both sides by 0.75

180/ .75  = OP

$240 = OP
