Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 900 would be 90% of the regular price
Find what number 900 is 90% of.
The formula a = pb works for all percent problems
a is the "part
p is the percent {as a decimal}
b is the "whole"
900 = 0.9b {substituted into percent formula}
b = 1,000 {divided each side by 0.9
The regular price was $1,000
