Question

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for 526 . This is 62% of the original price.
What is the original price?

Answer 1

Let's represent the original price as "x".
According to the problem, 62% of the original price is equal to the sale price, which is $526. Mathematically, this can be written as:
0.62x = 526
To find the original price "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 0.62:
x = 526 / 0.62
Simplifying the right side gives us:
x = 847.74
Therefore, the original price of the desk is $847.74.

Answer 3

Let's represent the original price as "x".
According to the problem, 62% of the original price is equal to the sale price, which is $527. Mathematically, this can be written as:
0.62x = 527
To find the original price "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 0.62:
x = 527 / 0.62
Simplifying the right side gives us:
x = 849.19
Therefore, the original price of the desk is $849.19.

Answer 6

youre still wrong!

Sale price = 62% x op
527 x 0.62 = 850

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion and incorrect response earlier. You are correct.

To find the original price, we can calculate it by dividing the sale price by 62%:

Original price = Sale price / 0.62

Original price = 527 / 0.62
Original price ≈ $850.81

Therefore, the original price of the desk is approximately $850.81. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I apologize for any confusion caused.
