A furniture shop had a 30% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $2100.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $2730 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% - 30%
= 70%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 2100
1% of the price of the dressing table = 2100 ÷ 100 = 21
70% of the price of the dressing table = 70 x 21 = $1470
Price of the dressing table after discount = $1470
(b)
Discounted price of the dining set
= 2730 - 1470
= $1260
70% of the price of the dining set = 1260
1% of the price of the dining set = 1260 ÷ 70 = 18
100% of the price of the dining set = 100 x 18 = 1800
Original price of the dining set = $1800
Answer(s): (a) $1470; (b) $1800
