Problema Solution
Your local computer store is having a sale. After a 30% price reduction your purchase a new computer for $980. What was the computers price before the reduction?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the price before reduction, then 'x-0.3x' represents the price with a 30% reduction applied
980 = x-0.3x
solving for 'x' we have x=1400
the price before reduction was $1,400
