Question

The price of s computer after discount was 1200$ . if the discount was 20% . what was the original sale price​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price of computer be x

Discount = 20%of x = 20/100×x = x/5

Price after discount = x-x/5

= 4x/5

In the question it is already given price after discount

So, 4x/5= 1200

4x=1200×5

4x= 6000

Therefore x= 6000/4

= 1500

Original sales price is 1500

Answer 2

Given:

The price of a computer after discount was $1200.

The discount was 20%.

To find:

The original sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

• Here, discounted sale price = $1200 and the rate of discount = 20%.

• Let, the original sale price be x.

• Then, $x(1-\dfrac{20}{100})=1200$ (numerically)

• $\Rightarrow x\times\dfrac{80}{100}=1200$

• $\Rightarrow x=1200\times\dfrac{100}{80}$

• $\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{120000}{80}$

• $\Rightarrow x=1500$

Final Answer:

The original sale price of the computer was $1500.
