Question

Jerry receives a 15% employee discount at the store where he works. If he pays $168.30 for an item, what was the original price of the item

Answer 1

244.50?

Answer 2

Divide $168.30 by 85%. This is how I'd set it up:
\[\frac{ 168.30 }{ .85 } * \frac{ ? }{ 1 }\]

The question mark is the original price.
