At a 5% off sale Alexandra bought a new drill and saved $13. How much did she pay for the drill? (two decimal places)
Let the original price of the drill = D
0.95D = D - 13
D - 0.95D = 13
0.05D = 13
D =13/0.05
D = $260 - original price before 5% sale.
$260 - $13 =$247 - What Alexandra paid for the drill.
At a 22% off sale Steven bought a new TV for $734. What was the price of the TV before the sale. (two decimal places)
Let the original price of the TV = T
T x [100% - 22%] =$734
T x 78% =$734
0.78T =$734
T = $734 /0.78
T = $941.03 - Original price of the TV before 22% sale.
