Question

Kelly bought a TV, after a reduction of 15% in a sale, the one she bought cost her £319.60.
What wa the original price of the TV?

319.60 x 1.15 = 367.54

would this be right?

Answer 1

Since Kelly paid 85% of the original cost, we can set up the problem this way. Let p equal the original price.

0.85p = 319.60
p = 319.6 / 0.85
p = 376.00
