A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dining set was $3000.
- How much was the dining set after discount?
- Danny paid $3960 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% - 10%
= 90%
100% of the price of the dining set = 3000
1% of the price of the dining set = 3000 ÷ 100 = 30
90% of the price of the dining set = 90 x 30 = $2700
Price of the dining set after discount = $2700
(b)
Discounted price of the dressing table
= 3960 - 2700
= $1260
90% of the price of the dressing table = 1260
1% of the price of the dressing table = 1260 ÷ 90 = 14
100% of the price of the dressing table = 100 x 14 = 1400
Original price of the dressing table = $1400
Answer(s): (a) $2700; (b) $1400
