Question

Original PricePercent of DiscountSale Price $ 15%$146.54

Answer 1

to calculate original price we can write an expression

you multiply the original price by percent of discount(subtracting 100) dividing between 100 and obtain the final price

$x\times\frac{100-15}{100}=146.54$

where x is the original price

simplify

$\begin{gathered} x\times\frac{85}{100}=146.54 \\ \\ x\times0.85=146.54 \\ x=\frac{146.54}{0.85} \\ \\ x=172.40 \end{gathered}$

Original price was $172.40
