A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $2500.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $3420 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 = 2500
1% of the price of the dressing table = 2500 ÷ 100 = 25
90% of the price of the dressing table = 90 x 25 = $2250
Price of the dressing table after discount = $2250
(b)
Discounted price of the dining set
= 3420 - 2250
= $1170
90% of the price of the dining set = 1170
1% of the price of the dining set = 1170 ÷ 90 = 13
100% of the price of the dining set = 100 x 13 = 1300
Original price of the dining set = $1300
Answer(s): (a) $2250; (b) $1300
