Question

A set of golf clubs is on sale for $150.00, which is 70% off of its original price. What was the original price of the golf clubs?

Answer 1

Since it is 70% OFF, then $150.00 is 30% of the original price.

Divide it all by 3,
$50.00 is 10%,
therefore $500.00 is the original price!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\ 500$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the original price of the golf club

we know that

$100\%-70\%=30\%$

$30\%=\frac{30}{100}=0.30$

$0.30x=150$ ------> linear equation that can be used to find the original price

solve for x

Divide by $0.30$ both sides

$0.30x/0.30=150/0.30$

$x=\ 500$
