Given:
Sales price: $64
Sales discount: 20%
Determine the original price of the toy.
Solution:
In order to determine the original price of the toy, we simply need to change the percentage first to decimal then multiply the decimal to the sales price. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 20/100
= 0.2
= (0.2)($64)
=$12.8
Add 12.8 to 64 in order to determine the original price.
= $12.8 + $64
= $76.8
Final answer:
= $76.8
