Answer:
a. The original price of the T-shirt:
Let x be the original price of the T-shirt.
Step-by-step explanation:
T-shirt is discounted by 30%, the discounted price is 70% of the original price:
70% of x = Birr 399
Convert 70% to decimal:
70% = 70/100 = 0.70
equation:
0.70x = 399
Solve for x:
x = 399 / 0.70
x = Birr 570
The original price of the T-shirt was Birr 570.
b. The amount of discount:
amount of discount - difference between the original price and the discounted price:
Discount = Original price - Discounted price
Discount = Birr 570 - Birr 399
Discount = Birr 171
The amount of discount on the T-shirt is Birr 171.
