A retailer sells a bicycle for $300 after applying a discount of 10%. What was the original price of the bicycle?
$270
$330
$300
$350
Let the original price be x. After a 10% discount, the selling price is x - (0.10 * x) = 0.90x. Setting this equal to $300 gives 0.90x = $300, so x = $300 / 0.90 = $333.33.
