Question

You got a great deal on a new computer for $800 that was marked down by 60% from the original price. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the original price by p.

Then the markdown was 0.60p and the sale price was 0.40p = $800.

                                            $800

If 0.40p = $800, then p = ------------ = $2000

                                              0.40
