a lawn trimmer is on sale for 45% off. the sale price is 230.45 what was the original price?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you get 45% off you are paying \(100-45=55\%\) of the price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do not know the original price, but you know that 55% of it is 230.45 so set \(.55P=230.45\) and solve for \(P\) via \(P=230.45\div.55\)
