At a sale this week a sofa is being sold for $281.60 this is a 68% discount from the original price what is the original price

1 answer

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.
