Question
A shop reduces al its 30% in a closing down scale. What is the original price of a television now priced at £175? Explain your working carefully.
Do I do 175/ 100 x 30 = £53
£175 + £53 = £228 is the original price of the television.
is this right??
You could set up a proportion.
175/x = 70/100
Solve for x. What answer do you get?
so would the price be £250??
Yes. The original price was 250.
thank you
