Question

In a sale the original price of a jacket is reduced by 16percent to $105. Calculate the original price of the jacket

Answer 1

Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the jacket be $x

Given that original price reduced to 16% is $105

=> x - (16% of x) = $105

=> x - 16x/100 = 105

=> (100x - 16x)/100 = 105

=> 84x = 105 × 100

=> x = 10500/84

=> x = 125

So

Original price of the jacket = $125
