The discount on a new copier was $190. This was a discount of 12%. What was the original price? Round to the nearest hundredth
Let
Original Price was = x
Discount = 190 which is the 12% of x
12%(x) = 190
12/100 * (x) = 190
12 * (x) = 190 * 100
12x=19000
x=19000/12
x=1583.33
Original Price was = $ 1583.33
