A furniture shop had a 30% discount storewide. The original price of a dining set was $2100.
- How much was the dining set after discount?
- Danny paid $2240 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 = 2100
1% of the price of the dining set = 2100 ÷ 100 = 21
70% of the price of the dining set = 70 x 21 = $1470
Price of the dining set after discount = $1470
(b)
Discounted price of the dressing table
= 2240 - 1470
= $770
70% of the price of the dressing table = 770
1% of the price of the dressing table = 770 ÷ 70 = 11
100% of the price of the dressing table = 100 x 11 = 1100
Original price of the dressing table = $1100
Answer(s): (a) $1470; (b) $1100
