Question

At a sale, a desk is being sold for 76% of the regular price. The sale price is $627. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

Let

x ----> regular price

76%=76/100=0.76

we have that

0.76x=627

solve for x

Divide by 0.76 on both sides

x=627/0.76

x=$825

therefore

The regular price is $825
