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
