Question

You are buying a computer at a markdown price of $960. If the markdown price was 20% off the original price, how much was the computer originally?

Answer 1

$1152

Answer 2

Use logical reasoning. The computer is worth 100%-20%=80% of the original price, which is x. We know that 80% of this x is 960.
Set up a proportion and you will get it done.

Answer 3

And just so you know, it's NOT $1152.
