Respuesta :

Answer:

No

The Original Price is $35.72

Explanation:

Let the Original Price =x

The sales price of the music player was 25% less than its original price

Sales Price=x-(25% of x) = x=0.25x=0.75x

The sale price was $26.79

Therefore:

0.75x = 26.79

x = 26.79/0.75 = 35.72

The original Price is $35.72.

Kristen's Answer is not reasonable as there is a difference of approximately $9 (as shown below)

44.49-35.72=8.77
