Answer 1

Answer :-

• The price of the dress before price reduction was £148.

To find :-

• The price of the dress before the price reduction.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, it is given that a shop advertises 25% off it's prices in a sale and a dress was £37 in the sale. We have to find the price of that dress before the price reduction.

Let :-

• The original price of the dress be "x".

Then :-

• 25% of "x" is £37.

Therefore,

$\longmapsto\bf25\% \: of \: x = 37$

$\longmapsto \bf \cancel{\dfrac{25}{100}} \times x = 37$

$\longmapsto \bf \dfrac{1}{4} \times x = 37$

$\longmapsto \bf \dfrac{x}{4} = 37$

$\longmapsto \bf x = 37 \times 4$

$\longmapsto \bf x = \pounds 148$

Hence :-

• The original price of the dress was £148.
