Mr.yeboah paid GHc418.00 for a pair of shoes after the shop had allowed a discount of 5percent. find the actual (marked) price for the shoe

Answer 1

Let M be the marked price for the shoe.
After a 5% discount, Mr. Yeboah paid 95% of the marked price, which is 0.95M.
According to the given information, Mr. Yeboah paid GHc418.00, so we have the equation:
0.95M = GHc418.00
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.95, we get:
M = GHc418.00 / 0.95
M = GHc440.00
So, the actual (marked) price for the shoe is GHc440.00.
