A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns​ shown, making the​ one-day sale price of the ski set

​$326.

Find the original selling price of the ski set.

skis are 40 percent off and

Answer 1

If the skis at 40% off are a total of $326, then you can set $326 equal to 60%. If you divide $326 by 60, you get about $5.433333 as 1% of the original price. Multiply that 1% value by 100, and you get 100%, the original price of the ski, to be equal to $543.33.

Let me know if that helps or if you have any more questions, thank you.
