Question

In a sale, a microwave costs P2,999.99. Its price has been reduced by
P 500.00. What was its price before the sale?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2999.99+500=3499.99

Answer 2

$Let \: Original \: price \: of \: a\: microwave\\before \: the \:sale = Rs \: x$

$Reduced \: price ( d) = Rs \: 500$

$Selling \: price \: of \: the \: microwave \\s.p \\ = Rs \: 2999.99$

$\pink{ Original \: price (x) - d = s.p}$

$x - 500 = 2999.99$

$\implies x = 2999.99 + 500$

$\implies x =Rs \: 3499.99$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Microwave \: price \: before \: sale } \\\green { =Rs \: 3499.99}$
