A furniture shop had a 30% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $1700.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $2380 for a dressing table and a dining set. What was the original price of the dining set?
(a)
Discounted price of the dressing table in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 1700
1% of the price of the dressing table = 1700 ÷ 100 = 17
70% of the price of the dressing table = 70 x 17 = $1190
Price of the dressing table after discount = $1190
(b)
Discounted price of the dining set
= 2380 - 1190
= $1190
70% of the price of the dining set = 1190
1% of the price of the dining set = 1190 ÷ 70 = 17
100% of the price of the dining set = 100 x 17 = 1700
Original price of the dining set = $1700
Answer(s): (a) $1190; (b) $1700
