At a sale this week, a table is being sold for $336 . This is a 36% discount from the original price. What is the original price?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

the number 1 is your friend here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$215.04

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well the actual price is 100 - 36 or 64% of the original price. so then 64% = $336 find the value of 1% by dividing both sides by 64 then multiply by 100 to get 100% this will be the original price

OpenStudy (adamaero):

@theweetard wrong answer it should be larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (adamaero):

just add 1 to the decimal equivalent (1.36) do you know what to do with it from there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (adamaero):

um that's really not what I was looking for. all you do is 1.36*(sale price)
