Question

A 10% rebate enables one to get a meter of cloth extra for $45.  What was the original price per meter of cloth?

Answer 1

Hi Sarika,

 

If the discount is 10%, then you are paying 90% of the price.

 

90% of the original price is $45

 

.9x = 45

x = $50 = original price per meter of cloth.
