Question

Please help asap, I'm so confused lol.

Raquel bought an insanely expensive espresso machine at a 60% discount. If the discount saved her $270, what was the machine's original price?​

Answer 1

Answer: $450

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form an equation representing the problem. The question is essentially asking 60% of what is equal to $270. If we define that what as a variable 'x', we get the following:

$\frac{60}{100} *x=270$

$\frac{60x}{100} =270$

Multiply both sides by 100:

$\frac{60x}{100} *100=270*100$

$60x=27,000$

Divide both sides by 60 to solve for the value of 'x':

$x=\frac{27,000}{60} =450$

Answer is 450 bucks

We can check this answer by taking 60% of $450. In principal, this should return the discount of $270.

$\frac{60}{100} *450=270$

Yup, it checks out

Answer 2

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

270÷6 so will know what is 10%

=45

45×10=450

then to make sure that it is is the right answer divide 450 in half=225+the 10% of 450 which is 45 = 270
