Problema Solution
A clock is marked 10%off and the sale price is $36.90.What was the original price?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the original price, so the 10% off is represented by 0.10x
we assume that this answer ignores any tax or other costs
36.90 = x - 0.10x
solving for 'x' we have:
x=41
the original price was $41
