Answer 1

Answer:

The original price of dunk tank is $275.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The rental was on sale for 10% off the original price. Let x be the original price.

Thus, selling price can be written as:

$=x-x\times 10\%\\\\= \dfrac{9x}{10}$

The original price is 25.00$ more than the sale price

Thus, selling price can be written as:

$x - 25$

Solving the two equations, we get,

$\dfrac{9x}{10} = x - 25\\\\9x = 10x-250\\x = 250$

Thus, the original price is

$=x + 25\\=250 + 25\\=275$

Thus, the original price of dunk tank is $275.
