You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question tells you that there is a 30% reduction.
This means we are dealing with 100% - 30% = 70%.
Then the question becomes 70% of what is $460?
Changing 70% to decimal number 0.70, the word "what" to any letter that you like (I will use x) and the word "is" to the equal (=)
sign, our equation becomes 0.70x = 460
We are looking for x which is the original price of tv.
Can you find x now?
