A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $1400.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $2520 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% - 10%
= 90%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 1400
1% of the price of the dressing table = 1400 ÷ 100 = 14
90% of the price of the dressing table = 90 x 14 = $1260
Price of the dressing table after discount = $1260
(b)
Discounted price of the dining set
= 2520 - 1260
= $1260
90% of the price of the dining set = 1260
1% of the price of the dining set = 1260 ÷ 90 = 14
100% of the price of the dining set = 100 x 14 = 1400
Original price of the dining set = $1400
Answer(s): (a) $1260; (b) $1400
