Question

Lisa buys a meal for her family for $29.25 after using a 40% off coupon. What is the price of the meal without the coupon?





$11.70



$60.45



$73.13



$48.75

Answer 1

If you multiply the $29.25 by 1.4, which would be 140 percent, then you are only adding on 40 percent of the $29.25, and not 40 percent of the original price, which is why you are coming up short. Instead, you need to do $29.25 divided by .6 (60 percent), which will give you $48.75.

Answer 2

Lets call the original price P
Solve the equation

p (1- 40/100) = 29.25
