Answer 2

The list price of the flat-screen TV is $ 678.78.

Given:

A 17.5% discount on a flat-screen TV amounts to $560.  

To find:

What is the list price  

Solution:

Let 'x' be the list price of the TV

From the data, the discount is given = 17.5%

Hence, the total discount given on TV = 17.5% of x

= [17.5/100] × x = 0.175 × x = 0.175x

After giving a discount on the selling price of the TV

= x - 0.175x = 0.825x

From the data,

Giving a 17.5% discount on a flat-screen TV amounts to $560

=> 0.825x = 560

=> x = 560/0.825

=> x = 678.78

Therefore,

The list price of the flat-screen TV is $ 678.78
