New suite equation

Question

After a 35% reduction, you purchase a new suite for 136.50. what was the price of the suite before the reduction? First write an equation then solve

Answer 1

136.50 = .65(P)

P = 136.50/.65 = 210

If it's 35% off, you're paying 100%-35% = 65%, sales price is 65% of the original price
