Question

I need help..

At an electronics store, the price of a tablet is marked down 15% to $212.50.

What was the price of the tablet before the markdown?

I think is $244.38

Answer 1

Why would you think that?
Then you should be able to take 15% of your 244.38 and subtract it from your answer and get 212.50 ??? Nope! you are wrong.

However, isn't the 212.50 85% of the original price ??

Answer 2
