Question

store decreased its price on a computer by $112 to $478. What was the original price

Answer 1

Well if it's $112 less and the price is now $478. You just have to add $112 to $478= $590.

Answer 2

Answer:

$590.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of computer.

We have been given that a store decreased its price on a computer by $112 to $478.

This means x minus 112 equals to 478. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x-\ 112=\ 478$

Let us add $112 to both sides of our equation.

$x-\ 112+\ 112=\ 478+\ 112$

$x=\ 590$

Therefore, the original price of computer was $590.
