A furniture shop had a 20% discount storewide. The original price of a dining set was $3000.
- How much was the dining set after discount?
- Danny paid $3680 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% - 20%
= 80%
100% of the price of the dining set = 3000
1% of the price of the dining set = 3000 ÷ 100 = 30
80% of the price of the dining set = 80 x 30 = $2400
Price of the dining set after discount = $2400
(b)
Discounted price of the dressing table
= 3680 - 2400
= $1280
80% of the price of the dressing table = 1280
1% of the price of the dressing table = 1280 ÷ 80 = 16
100% of the price of the dressing table = 100 x 16 = 1600
Original price of the dressing table = $1600
Answer(s): (a) $2400; (b) $1600
