Q: A store offers a 15% discount on all items. If an item costs $200 after the discount, what was the original price?
Solution:
Let the original price be x. After a 15% discount, the selling price is 85% of x; 0.85x = 200; x = 200 / 0.85 = 235.29.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a 15% discount means you pay 85% of the original price.
Step 2: Let the original price be represented by 'x'.
Step 3: Write the equation for the selling price after the discount: 0.85 * x = 200.
Step 4: To find 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 0.85: x = 200 / 0.85.
Step 5: Calculate the value of x: x = 235.29.
