A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dining set was $1000.
- How much was the dining set after discount?
- Danny paid $1530 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 = 1000
1% of the price of the dining set = 1000 ÷ 100 = 10
90% of the price of the dining set = 90 x 10 = $900
Price of the dining set after discount = $900
(b)
Discounted price of the dressing table
= 1530 - 900
= $630
90% of the price of the dressing table = 630
1% of the price of the dressing table = 630 ÷ 90 = 7
100% of the price of the dressing table = 100 x 7 = 700
Original price of the dressing table = $700
Answer(s): (a) $900; (b) $700
