Question

A local tour company is offering a weekend travel package special at 50% off the regular price. This is a savings of $87.45.

What is the regular price of the package?

 

We are currently learning about linear equations.

Answer 1

(50%) * p = 87.45

50% = 50 per centum = 50/100 = 1/2

anytime you see a % change it to 1/100

(1/2) * p = 87.45

multiply both sides by 2

p = $174.90
