A sofa set was offered for 25% discount. Linda Smith bought the sofa set for $1050.00 after the discount. What was the original price for the sofa set?

Respuesta :

Answer

$1,400


Explanation

The original price = 100%

After the discount the selling price = (100-25)=75% of the original price.

75%  ⇒  $1050.00

100%   ⇒ ?

From here you cross multiply

Original price = (100% × $1050.00)/75%

                       = 105,000/75

                     = $1,400
