If I Paid 72.25 For Shoes With A 15% Discount, What Was My Original Price?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Original price - 15% = 72.25

    Which is the same as saying

    Price - 15% of Price = 72.25

    or 0.85 * Price = 72.25

    So your original price was

    72.25 divided by 0.85

    which is 85.

    Your math is a little off. 85.00 is the result of the division. See the other way this question is asked at http://www.blurtit.com/q114577.html
