Answer 2

Given: Discount given on the products during sale = 30%

           Selling price of an item = $9.95

To find: Original price of the item

Let: Original price of the item be X

Solution: According to the given question,

If the original price of the item has been assumed as X, then

X - 30% of X = Selling price of the item [30% off has been given on the original price of the item]

⇒ X - 30/100 × X = 9.95

⇒ X - 30X/100 = 9.95

⇒ $\frac{100X - 30X}{100}$ = 9.95

⇒ $\frac{70X}{100}$ = 9.95

⇒ 70X = 9.95 x 100 = 995

⇒ X = 995/70 = 14.214 (approx.)

Therefore, the original price of the item was approximately $14.21.
