Question

John bought a shirt on
sale for 25% off the
original price and another
25 % off the discounted
price. If the final price
was $16, what was the
price before the first
discount?

With explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

21.33 is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the shirt be $x

Then ,

Discounted price + discount % of original price = original price

16 + 25 / 100× x = x

1600/ 100 +25x/ 100 = x

Now, 1600+25x = 100x

1600 = 100x-25 ×

1600= 75×

1600/75 = ×

Therefore , x = 21.333
