A book store is having a 30% off sale. Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are now $6.30 each. What was the original price of the books? Please give your answer in detail, (showing the steps), I am terrible in Math!!! TERRIBLE!!!

Respuesta :

By the words "30% sale", this means that the current price of the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid is only 70% of its original price. We can mathematically express the scenario through the equation below,
                                 current Price = (original price) x 0.70
Substituting the known values from the given above,
                                  6.30 = original price x 0.70
The original price is therefore $9.0.
