Question 935283: Karl would like to buy a ring for his wife. In the January sale, the price of the ring has been reduced by 13% which means that the ring now cost £39 less then the original price. Work out how much Karl will pay for the ring in the sale. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = original price
y = discounted price
---
y = x - 39
---
39/x * 100 = 13
39/x = 13/100
x(13/100) = 39
x = 39/(13/100)
x = 300
y = x - 39
y = 300 - 39
y = 261
---
answer:
y = discounted price = 261
