Question

The sales price of a car is $12,590.00, which is 20 percent off the original price. What is the original price?

$14,990.90
$14,310.40
$15,737.50
$15,290.70

Answer 1

12590.00 + .20n = n

Answer 2

if 20% has been discounted and came down to $12,590.00

that means that $12,590.00 is only the 80% of the original price

the original price will be the 100%

thus \(\large \begin{array}{ccllll}
price&\%
\\\hline\\
12,590.00&80\\
x&100
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{12,590.00}{x}=\cfrac{80}{100}\)

Answer 3

can you just solve it please?

Answer 5

Sorry, my original equation was wrong. It's supposed to be
12590.00 -.2n = n

Answer 6

well... I assume that's what you're meant to do.....what would that give you?

Answer 7

hmm

Answer 8

anyhow just cross-multiply \(\bf \cfrac{12,590.00}{{\color{brown}{ x}}}=\cfrac{80}{{\color{brown}{ 100}}}\implies {\color{brown}{ 100}}\cdot 12,590.00=80\cdot {\color{brown}{ x}}\)

Answer 9

i cant get the correct answer?

Answer 10

$15,737.50

Answer 11

if you dont think its correct put it in a calculator and subtract 20%

Answer 12

You don't know the original price, so think of that as x.

You know that 80% of that number (because 100% - 20% = 80%) is 12,590. In math, "of" means multiply, and "is" means equal.

So, we have this equation: .8x = 12,590.

To solve for x, divide both sides by .8, and you get the answer: $15,737.50.
