Problema Solution
You buy a pair of rollerblades on sale for $64.99. This is $4.98 less than the original price. If g represents the original price, which equation CANNOT be used to find the sale price?
Answer provided by our tutors
The sale price is given in the equation. It is 64.99. From the given information, we can write the following equation:
n*(64.99+4.98)=64.99
n=.9288
Where n is the fraction of sale price/original price. Therefore the sale price is 92.88% of the original price or we can say that the customer received a 7.22% discount.
