Question

A sofa is on sale for 24% off. The sale price is $513.
What is the regular price?

Answer 1

\[0.24x=513\]

Since 0.24 is the decimal equivalent of 24%, and the sale price is 0.24 times the original price.

So solve for x, where x is the regular price

Answer 2

Actually typo:

when you solve for x in that equation, x is the amount saved, not the regular price. So add the amount saved to the sale price

Answer 3

so I would first take 100 and subtract it from 24 and and then get 76 so I would and multiply it by 513

Answer 4

I got 389.88

Answer 5

is this right
