Question 656941: I need help on this problem, cant seem to get the right answer. Here's the question, "A dormitory purchased a new 52-inch HD television for $2046 this year. This was a price that was 7% less than the one they purchased last year. How much was the television that they purchased last year?"

p - 7% = 2046
0.93p = 2046

p = 2200
They paid $2200 last year.
