Let the original price be x. After a 10% discount, the selling price is x - 0.1x = 0.9x. So, 0.9x = 45. Therefore, x = 45/0.9 = $50.

Q
Q: If a shirt is sold for $45 after a discount of 10%, what was the original price of the shirt?
Solution:
Let the original price be x. After a 10% discount, the selling price is x - 0.1x = 0.9x. So, 0.9x = 45. Therefore, x = 45/0.9 = $50.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Let the original price of the shirt be represented by 'x'.
Step 2: A 10% discount means the shirt is sold for 90% of its original price.
Step 3: Write the equation for the selling price after the discount: 0.9x = 45.
Step 4: To find the original price 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 0.9: x = 45 / 0.9.
Step 5: Calculate the value: x = 50.
