Question

in a sale normal prices are reduced by 10% Nathalie brought a pair of shoes in the sale for £54

what is the original price ?

Answer 1

Answer: £60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be 'x'

So according to the question,

$x-(x*10/100)=54$

$x-x/10=54$

$\frac{10x-x}{10} =54$

$\frac{9x}{10} =54$

$540=9x$ (by cross multiplying)

$x=60$

Therefore the original price of the bag is £60
