Question

Find the sale price to the nearest cent.5. The sale price of a video game that has beendiscounted 40% is $15.48. What was the originalprice of the video game?

Answer 1

The discount is 40 %

After discount the price is 15.48

Let x be the original price, we have,

$\begin{gathered} x-x\times\frac{40}{100}=15.48 \\ x-.4x=15.48 \\ \\ 0.6x=15.48 \\ x=\frac{15.48}{0.6}=25.8 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the original price is 25.8.
