Question

Jerry receives a 15% employee discount at the store where he works. If he pays $168.30 for an item, what was the original price of the item

Answer 1

Hints:
Discounted price = list price *(1-discount)

Example:
John paid 175 for a printer at 30% discount. What is the list price.
175=List*(1-0.30)
Solve for List
List =175/0.7=250
Answer: The original (list) price was $250.
