Mr yeboah paid GHC418.00 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's assume the actual (marked) price for the shoes is X GHC.

Since Mr. Yeboah received a discount of 5 percent, he paid 95 percent of the actual price (100 percent - 5 percent = 95 percent).

So, we can set up the equation:

0.95 * X = GHC 418.00

Now, solve for X:

X = GHC 418.00 / 0.95

X ≈ GHC 439.16

Therefore, the actual (marked) price for the shoes is approximately GHC 439.16.
