Mr yeboah paid GHc 418.00 for a pair of shoes after the shop had allowed a discount of 5 percent.find the actual (marked)price for the shoe.work it as a mathematician

Answer 1

Let the actual (marked) price for the pair of shoes be P.

According to the question, a discount of 5 percent was given on the actual price. So, after the discount, Mr. Yeboah paid 100 - 5 = 95 percent of the actual price.

We can rewrite this as:

95/100 * P = GHc 418.00

Simplifying this equation, we get:

0.95P = GHc 418.00

Dividing both sides by 0.95, we find:

P = GHc 418.00 / 0.95

P ≈ GHc 439.47

Therefore, the actual (marked) price for the shoe is approximately GHc 439.47.
