marked price = original price before the discount
x = marked price
selling price = price after the discount
selling price = $980
The discount is 5%, meaning the customer pays the remaining 95%
95% of (marked price) = selling price
0.95*x = 980
x = 980/0.95
x = 1,031.57894736842 approximately
x = 1,031.58 after rounding to the nearest penny
Answer: $1,031.58
