Jb's music store is offering a 20 percent discount on all cds and dvds if the discounted price of a CD is 16.80 then the original price of the CD was?
I assume you're doing this for school, so I'll explain the answer.
If it's 20% off, then it's 80% of the original price (100% is full price). Let's call the original price P, for Price. 80% of something is the same as multiplying that something by .8 (since you can always multiply something by one, and .8 is 80% of 1).
Eighty percent of the original price is $16.80, thus .8 (P) = $16.80
You need to solve for P, so you need to get P by itself on one side. The easiest way is to get rid of the .8. Divide both sides by .8 and you get P = $16.80/.8, or $21.00, so the original price (P) is $21.00
To check this, get a calculator and solve for 80% of 21.00 (if you don't have a percent sign, just type 21.00*.8). Hope this helped!

To find the discounted price, first calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price of $1.80 by 15% (0.15): [ 1.80 \times 0.15 = 0.27. ] Subtract the discount from the original price: [ 1.80 - 0.27 = 1.53. ] Thus, the discounted price is $1.53.

When multiple discounts are used if an item is first discounted by 40 percent then by 30 percent and then 10 percent the final discount is what off the original price?
To find the final discount after applying multiple percentage discounts, you can calculate the final price step by step. Starting with a price of 100, applying a 40% discount leaves you with 60. A 30% discount on 60 reduces it to 42, and then a 10% discount on 42 brings it down to 37.8. Therefore, the final discount from the original price is 62.2%.

15 percent off 680 what is the original price?
You seem to be saying that 15% off gives a discounted price of 680, and asking what the original price was before the discount. Since the price was discounted by 15%, the discounted price is 85% of the original price. Dividing 680 by 0.85 gives 800 as the original price.
