Question

"HOT PIZZA" is offering a 20% discount on all pizzas.
Ali orders a pizza for the reduced price of £5.60.

What was the original price of the pizza?

Answer 1

Let the original price of pizza be £ x.

Discount = 20℅of x

➡ x * 20/100

➡ £ ( x/5 )

A/q,

original price - discount = reduced price

➡ x - ( x/5 ) = 5•60

➡ 4x/5 = 5•60

➡ x = ( 5•60 * 5 )/4

➡ x = 28/4

➡ x = 7

So, required answer is :-

original price of pizza is £ 7.

Hope it will help you !!!
