In February, a store discounted all of its calendars by 60% . If Ramon paid $4.38 for a calendar, what was its original price?
@Kevin
original price = 100% discount 60%
hey @jiteshmeghwal9 can u help me.. I'm a bit don't understand with the question
hmm,
The discounted price will be 60% * x
Alright is we 4.38$ and have to find the discount
If Ramon paid $4.38 Then it would be : (100 - 60)% * x = $4.38
ok ok
is it right?
let the original price be x. discount offered=60% final price = x-(60% of x) = 40 % of x
but isn't 4.38 just what he paid?
It supposed to come at $10.95.
we have to find 60% more than 4.38
i dont think so
Maybe 9.20$?
40% of x= $4.38 \[\frac{40}{100}*x=$4.38\]
ok
In the book it's saying 10.95
I don't know but were finding the 60%
yup the answer is $10.95 let the original price be x. discount offered=60% final price = x-(60% of x) = 40 % of x 40% of x=4.38 x=\(\Large \frac{4.38*100}{40}\)
Well, whatever is the answer.
