Question

jeanine paid $599.20 for a TV that was discounted 20%. what was the original price of the TV?  please help show ALL work problem.

pooja195 · Answer

If it was 20% discounted, then it costed 80% of the original price, so 599.20 = 0.8 * original price

original price = 599.2/0.8= 749.

Let original price be $x, since she got 20% discount, you have
80% of x = 599.20
x = 599.20/0.8

zehanz · Answer

Or, because 599.20 is 80%, first divide 599.20 by 80 to get 1%.
Then multiply that with 100 to get the original price.
