Question

1. a chair sold for $267.05. this was after a 25% discount. what was the original price before the sale?

Explanation:

Step1: Let original price be $x$.

The price after a 25% discount is $(1 - 0.25)x=0.75x$.

Step2: Set up the equation.

We know that $0.75x = 267.05$.

Step3: Solve for $x$.

$x=\frac{267.05}{0.75}=\frac{26705}{75}=\frac{10682}{30}=\frac{5341}{15}\approx356.07$.

Answer:

$356.07$
