A clock is marked 10% off and the sale price is $32.40. What was the original price?

Question

Can you help me to figure this problem?

Arturo O. · Accepted Answer

The sale price is (100 - 10)% = 90% of the original price.  
 
P = original price
 
$32.40 = 90% of P = 0.90P
 
$32.40 = 0.90P
 
P = $32.40/0.90 = $36
