Question

If a bookshelf is 75% off, and its new price is $16, what was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer:

64 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the MP be $x.

Disount%(D%)=75%

SP=$16

Now,

SP=(100-D%)% of MP

or, $16=(100-75)% of $x

or, $16=25% of $x

or, $16=(25/100)*$x

or, $16*100/25=$x

or, $x=$64

Therefore,MP=$64
