Question 57997: A furniture store is offering a 35% discount on the price of a discontinued sofa. If the discounted price of the sofa is $637, find the regular price. Show equations and all work. Please help me thank you! Answer by rcmcc(152) (Show Source):
$637, because it is the discount price we can write the equation
637/65*100=x because 35% was the amount discounted 637 was the remainder 65% so dividing by that amount and multiplying by 100% you get the regular price (x) x=980
