Wayne buys an HD televisions set for $466 that was marked down for 33 1/3% from the list price. What is the list price of the television set?

Answer 1

33 1/3 %= 1/3

1/3 of the price was taken off

$466 is 2/3 of the original price

466=2/3 of what number ?

466=(2/3)*n

(3/2)(466)=(3/2)(2/3)*n

3*233=n (466/2=233)

$699=n

$699 is the list price of the television set
