The discount on a DVD player is $43.00, which is 11% of the original price. To the nearest cent, what was the original price?
---------------
If $43 is 11%, then the original price is $43*100/11
= $390.91
-----------
If you meant 11% off, then $43 is 89% of the original price.
OP = $43*100/89
OP = $48.31
