Question

After receiving a discount of 12.5% on its bulk order of printer paper, Johns’ Office Supply pays $3200. What was the price of the order bef

Answer 1

the problem is to recognise what the percentage is in respect to.
in this case, this is the original price, so the paid price is
100-12.5 %. from here, calculate 1% then multiply by 100 to determine the
original figure.

hope that helps
