Question

Dilbert's TV and Appliance discounts all televisions 7% to customers paying in cash. Rebecca paid $1,748.22 in cash and before tax for a 52-inch widescreen TV. What was the original price of the TV, not including tax?

Answer 1

idk srry

Answer 2

x = original price

x = 1748.22 - .07x --- add .07x to both sides
.07x + x = 1748.22
1.07x = 1748.22
x = 1748.22 / 1.07
x = 1633.85

check..
1633.85 + .07(1633.85) = 1748.22
1633.85 + 114.37 = 1748.22
1748.22 = 1748.22 (correct)

original price (x) was $ 1633.85
