Question

A flat-screen television was marked down by 35 percent, which reduced its price by $115.65. What was the original cost of the television before it was marked down? $214.78 $330.43 $404.78 $4,047.75

Answer 1

35=115.65
1=3.3043(approx)
100=330.43 Ans.

Answer 2

Let the initial price be x.

35% of this price is :

35/100 × x = 0.35x

The price reduces by 0.35x.

This equals to 115.65

Now :

0.35x = 115.65

100/35 × 115.65 = 330.43

$330.43
