Answer: $148.47
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the original price of an item cost $22.27 after 15 % discount:
Let x represent the original price
15% of (original price) = $22.27
15% × x = $22.27
[tex]\frac{15x}{100}[/tex] = $22.27
We cross multiply
15 x = $22.27 × 100
15 x = $2227
Divide both-side of the equation by 15
[tex]\frac{15x}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2227}{15}[/tex]
x = $148.47
Therefore the original price of the item is $148.47
