Question

If the rate of discount is 15% and the discount is 65.70 what is the original price? 

 

Answer 1

The original price multiplied by the percent discount will equal the amount of the discount

 

(Original price)( % discount) = amount of discount

 

Remember to use x for the original price and to write the percent of discount as a decimal

 

15% would be 0.15
