A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $3000.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $3330 for a dressing table and a sofa. What was the original price of the sofa?
(a)
Discounted price of the dressing table in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 3000
1% of the price of the dressing table = 3000 ÷ 100 = 30
90% of the price of the dressing table = 90 x 30 = $2700
Price of the dressing table after discount = $2700
(b)
Discounted price of the sofa
= 3330 - 2700
= $630
90% of the price of the sofa = 630
1% of the price of the sofa = 630 ÷ 90 = 7
100% of the price of the sofa = 100 x 7 = 700
Original price of the sofa = $700
Answer(s): (a) $2700; (b) $700
