Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are saving 12%, you are still spending 88%. Our equation will be, in words,
88% of the original price, x, minus $7 is $15. In equation form:
.88x - 7 = 15 so
.88x = 25 so
x = $28.41
Answer:the original price of the shirt is $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial price of the shirt.
Justin bought a shirt at 12% off. This means that the discount off the original price of the shirt would be
12/100 × x = 0.12 × x = 0.12x
The price of the shirt with the discount off would be
x - 0.12x = 0.88x
He received an additional membership discount of 7$. This means that the final price of the shirt would be
0.88x - 7
If the T-shirt cost him $15, it means that
0.88x - 7 = 15
0.88x = 15 + 7 = 22
x = 22/0.88 = 25
