Answer 1

Answer:

x= £7.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial price- x

Discounted price- £5.60

Discount- 20%

Given: x-20%=£5.60 =>

As x-20%=x*(100-20)/100=0.8x

Then 0.8x=£5.60

x=£5.60/0.8

x= £7.00

Answer 2

Answer:

The original price of the Pizza = £ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given discount on all pizzas = 20%

reduced price of the pizza which is ordered by Ali = £ 5.60  

here we need to find original price of the pizza

Let x be the original price of the pizza

discount 20% on pizza = $\frac{20}{100} (x)$  

                                      = $\frac{1}{5} (x)$  = $\frac{x}{5}$

reduced price will be = x - $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{5x- x}{5}$ = $\frac{4x}{5}$  which is equals to £ 5.60  

                               $\frac{4x}{5} = 5.60$  

                               4x = 5(5.60)

                               4x = 28

                                 x = 7
