Question 897954: Rapheal paid $1,148 for a camera during a 30% off sale. What was the cameras regular price.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = original price
30% of x = 0.30x (this is the amount you save, aka the discount)
-------------------------------------------------------
x - 0.30x = 0.70x
So the final price is 0.70x, or 70% of the original price
0.70x = 1148
0.70x/0.70 = 1148/0.70
x = 1640
The camera's original price is $1,640 (this is before the discount is applied)
