After a 20% reduction you purchase a TV for $320 what was the TVs price prior to the reduction in price?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

Prior to reduction in price, the TV costs #$400#

You can think of it as #80%# of the total amount is #$320# so #100%# equals to what

ie #100/80times320# = #$400#

To find the original price of the TV before the 20% reduction, you can use the formula:

Original price = Reduced price / (1 - Reduction rate)

Original price = $320 / (1 - 0.20) Original price =$ 320 / 0.80 Original price = $400
