Question

Ryan went to the store to buy a CD. The CD was on sale for 10% off. If Ryan paid $13.50 for the CD, what was the original price of the CD?

Answer 1

Take 10% of 13.50, and add that to 13.50. So, 0.10x13.50=1.35. 13.50+1.35=14.85. The original price of the CD was $14.85. Make sense?

Answer 2

haha yes ma'am! thank you lol

Answer 3

You can check your answer by taking 1.35/13.50! I'm glad I could help :)
