Question

Terry sees this offer: 30% off ... now only 78 pounds. how much was the phone before the discounted price?

Answer 1

Answer:

price before discount is 260 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

30%of total price =78 pounds

let total price be x

30% ofx= (3/10)*x

(3x/10)=78

3x=78*10

x=260

Answer 2

Answer:

£120

Step-by-step explanation:

£78 is only 65% of the price.

to find the overall price we need to find 100%

to do this we need to find 1%.

so we divide both sides by 65 this leaves us with

1%= £1.20

now we have 1% we just times by 100 to get 100% so 1.20 times by 100 is 120

so the original price is £120.

hope this helps :)
