Question

Car valued at £5301 following 7% discount. What was original price?

Answer 1

Car's final value = 5301 pounds

Discount rate = 7%

Car's original price be ' x '

original price - discount = Final value

Discount = original price × discount rate


x - 7% of x = 5301

x - 7/100×x = 5301

x - 0.07x = 5301

0.93x = 5301

x = 5301/0.93

x = 5700 = original price
