Question

in a sale, normal prices are reduced by 10%. Nathalie bought a pair of shoes in the sale for £54. What was the original price of the shoes?

Answer 1

Hey mate

If we take 54 to be the reduced price, and "x" to be the original price, now "x" is the 100%, and 54 is the 100% - 10%, or 90%.

Hope it's helpful for you

Answer 2

Answer:

This could be solved by reciprocating the multiplying factor of 10% as well:

= £54*10/9

Original price = £60
