What Is The Answer To This Question And How Did You Get The Answer?
An instrument store gives a 10% discount to all students off the original cost of an instrument. During a back to school sale an additional 15% is taken off the discounted price. Julie, a student at the local high school, purchases a flute for $306. How much did it originally cost?

Actually this is a question of percentage. Since there was 10% basic discount and 15% further discount, the total discount on the flute was 25%. That means 306 is the 25% discounted value of the flute. The following equation would let you solve the question now.
Let actual price be x then
25% of x = 306
25/100 of x = 306
x= 306x100/25
x = $1224 was the actual price of the flute.
