Question

An appliance store decreases the price of a 19-In television set 29% to a sale price of $442.69. What was the original price?

Answer 1

The original price is $623.51.

How to compute the price?

Let the original price be represented by x.

Since the appliance store decreases the price of a 19-In television set 29%, that means the percentage of the sales price will be:

= 100 - 29

= 71%

Therefore, the original price will be:

= 71% of x = $442.69

0.71x = $442.69

x = $442.69/0.71

x = $623.51

The price is $623.51.
