A furniture shop had a 30% discount storewide. The original price of a dining set was $2400.
- How much was the dining set after discount?
- Danny paid $3080 for a dining set and a dressing table. What was the original price of the dressing table?
(a)
Discounted price of the dining set in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
100% of the price of the dining set = 2400
1% of the price of the dining set = 2400 ÷ 100 = 24
70% of the price of the dining set = 70 x 24 = $1680
Price of the dining set after discount = $1680
(b)
Discounted price of the dressing table
= 3080 - 1680
= $1400
70% of the price of the dressing table = 1400
1% of the price of the dressing table = 1400 ÷ 70 = 20
100% of the price of the dressing table = 100 x 20 = 2000
Original price of the dressing table = $2000
Answer(s): (a) $1680; (b) $2000
