Problema Solution
The camera Melissa wanted for her birthday is on sale at 28% off the usual price. The amount of the discount is $100.80. What was the original price of the camera?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the original price of the camera be x. 28% of the original price is $100.80
Represent this by .28x=100.80
Divide both sides by .28 to solve for x.
x=100.80/.28 = 360
Therefore, the original price of the camera was $360.
