To find the original price, we can set up the equation:
Original price * (1 - Discount) = Sale price
Let's use "x" to represent the original price.
x * (1 - 0.68) = $281.60
0.32x = $281.60
Dividing both sides by 0.32:
x = $281.60 / 0.32
x = $880
Therefore, the original price of the sofa is $880.
Original price * (1 - Discount) = Sale price
Let's use "x" to represent the original price.
x * (1 - 0.68) = $281.60
0.32x = $281.60
Dividing both sides by 0.32:
x = $281.60 / 0.32
x = $880
Therefore, the original price of the sofa is $880.
