Problema Solution
After a 60% reduction, you purchase a new DVD player on sale for $248. What was the original price of the DVD player?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the original price of the DVD player be x.
If the price is reduced by 60%, then the current price is 40% of x.
Therefore, 40/100 of x = 248
So, x = (248 x 100) / 40 = $620
