A suit is on for sale 24% off.

Question

the sale price is $741. What is the original price?

 

Answer 1

Given : Selling price (Sp) = $741.

Offer percentage = 24%.

Sold percentage = (100 - 24)% = 76%.

let, x be the original price.

x = selling price/sold percentage

= 741/76%

= 741/(76/100)

= (741 * 100)/76

x = $ 975.

Therefore, the original price of the suit is $975.
