Q:
If I bought a Computer for $1,500.00and used my 75% off coupon. Howmuch was the computer originally?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The original price of the computer is $ 6,000 . Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The selling price for the computer = $ 1,500.00The discount coupon = 75 %Let the original price or market price of computer = $ xNow, Discount % = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm market price - \textrm selling price}{\textrm market price}[/tex] × 100Or, 75 % = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm x - \textrm 1500}{\textrm x}[/tex] × 100Or, [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm x - \textrm 1500}{\textrm x}[/tex] Or, [tex]\frac{1500}{x}[/tex] = 1 - [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex] Or, [tex]\frac{1500}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{100 - 75}{100}[/tex] Or, [tex]\frac{1500}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex] Or, x = [tex]\frac{150000}{25}[/tex] ∴ x = $ 6,000Hence The original price of the computer is $ 6,000 . answer
