Question 58894
joe purchased a jacket at a 10% discount sale for 121.50 what was the original price of the jacket
Let the original price of the jacket be:x
The discount then is: (10/100)x=.10x
The amount he paid: 121.50
:
Equation to solve:
x-.10x=121.50
.90x=121.5
.90x/.90=121.50/.90
x=1215/9
x=$135
:
Happy Calculating!!!
