Answer 1

Answer: Ans: The listed value for the sofa was 25000 dollars, but was reduced to 21250 dollars.

Explanation: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.
