When you use a coupon for 15 percent off the original price of a headset you pay 27. What is the original price of the headset Include your equation with the unknown x as well as your answer?
Let the original price be x; The 15% of x is 15/100 × x → the original price less the discount gives the price paid: x - 0.15x = 27 → 0.85x = 27 You can now solve for x. ------------------------------------------- You can also work in percentages: the whole price is 100% The discount is 15% → the amount paid is 100% - 15% = 85% → 85% of x = 27 → 85/100 × x = 27 → 0.85x = 27 as before
How do find the original amount after percentage has been taken off?
Let's think money. If 5% was taken off, then the amount paid represents 95% of the original amount. So, to find the original amount, think that 95% of the original amount = paid amount And to solve, divide the amount paid by the percent you paid. In general divide by (100% minus the percent taken off).
