Answer 1

Answer:

74.92

Explanation:

Let us assume Orginal price of skateboard as Y

It is mentioned in the question that the skateboard was on sale at 40% OFF

(It means that the skateboard Erum brought was at a discount at 40%)

so mathematically we can say it as follows

Y × 40 /100 = 29.97

Y = 29.97 × 100 / 40 ( Reciprocal)

Y= 2997/40

Y=74.92
