A furniture shop had a 50% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $2600.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $2300 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% - 50%
= 50%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 2600
1% of the price of the dressing table = 2600 ÷ 100 = 26
50% of the price of the dressing table = 50 x 26 = $1300
Price of the dressing table after discount = $1300
(b)
Discounted price of the dining set
= 2300 - 1300
= $1000
50% of the price of the dining set = 1000
1% of the price of the dining set = 1000 ÷ 50 = 20
100% of the price of the dining set = 100 x 20 = 2000
Original price of the dining set = $2000
Answer(s): (a) $1300; (b) $2000
