Question

they is a sale of 20% and the price now is 32 what is the original price ?

Answer 1

Given:

sale = 20%
After discount, price = 32

RTF ( required to find ) original price.

To find the discounted price, we multiply the original price with the sale , but we don't know the original price so we'll call it "x" in here ^_^ :

(original Price)(20%) = (discounted Price)

\[x \frac{20}{100} = 32 \rightarrow 20x =(32)(100)\]
\[x = \frac{(100)(32)}{20} \rightarrow x = 160\]

so the original price was $160

is it clear now? :)
