A sofa was sold for 21,250 after giving a 15% discount. What was the listed price of the sofa?
Answer: (new value)/(old value)= (new percentage)/(old percentage)
21250/x = (100%-15%)/(100%)
21250/x = (85%)/(100%)
21250(100) = 85(x)
21250,00 = 85x
21250,00 ÷85 = 85x ÷85
25000=x
Ans: The listed value for the sofa was 25000 dollars, but was reduced to 21250 dollars.
