Answers
Answer:
The price of the computer before the discount is 890$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Discount - 15 %
Total discounted price = $1134.75
Monitor price before discount = $375
Keyboard price before discount = $70
Computer price before discount = ?
Solution : Let total price before discount = X
Then, X-0.15X = 1134.75
0.85X = 11.34.75
X = 1134.75/0.85
= 1335 $
∴ Computer price before discount = Total price before discount - ( monitor
price before discount + Keyboard
price before discount)
= 1335 - ( 375 + 70)
= 1335 - 445
= 890$
Answer:Price of Computer = $815.84
Step-by-step explanation: Total discount given = 15%
Discounted price = $1134.75
let the total price before the discount be x
x = 1134.75 + 10%x
= 1134.75 + 10x/100
= 1134.75 + x/10
taking x/10 on the other side
x - x/10 = 1134.75
9x/10 = 1134.75
9x = 1134.75 * 10
9x = 11347.5
x = 11347.5 / 9
x = $1260.84
Now,
Price of Computer = total price before discount - (keyboard price +
monitor price)
= 1260.84 - (375 + 70)
= 1260.84 - 445
Price of Computer = $815.84
