Question 176848
let x = original amount
let y = discounted amount.
y = .015*x
since the discounted amount = $294.00, this means that y = $294.000
this means that:
.015*x = $294.00
divide both sides of this equation by .015 to get:
x = $294.00/.015 = $19,600.00
the client would pay $19,600.00 without the discount.
the discount is .015 * $19,600.00 = $294.00
the client pays $19,600.00 - $294.00 = $19,306.00 with the discount.
your answer:
client would pay $19,600.00 without the discount.
