Practice Question
A leather recliner is on sale for 30% less than its original price. A consumer has a coupon that serves an additional 25% off the sale price. If the consumer pays $ 237 for the recliner, which of the following is the original price of the recliner to the nearest dollar?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
$451
Rationale:
✍ Let the original price = x
- 30% off the original price:
↦Sale price = x−0.30x=0.70x
- 25% off the sale price
→ Final price = 0.70x−0.25(0.70x)=0.75×0.70x=0.525x
♦Set up the equation
→ 0.525x=237
✍Solve for x:
→ x=237÷0.525=451.43
🎯→ Nearest dollar = $451
