Question

Amelia purchased a new mattress when it was on sale. The sale price was 40% less than the regular price. If the sale price was $325, what was the original price? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar).

Answer 1

Answer:

The original price to the nearest dollar is $542

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be $x

The sale price was 40% less than the regular price. If the sale price was $325

X - 40/100 x= 325

X- 0.4x = 325

0.6 x= 325

X= 325/0.6

X= $558 to the nearest dollars

Answer 2

The original price to the nearest dollar is $542

• The calculation is as follows:

Let the original price be $x

Now

X - 40/100 x= 325

X- 0.4x = 325

0.6 x= 325

X = $542
