While shopping, Etta fell in love with a pair of sandals which she thought would be perfect for her summer wardrobe!
Before buying the sandals, Etta checked online for a discount code.
She managed to find a 15% off code.
After using the code, the price of the sandals came down to £68.
What was the original price of the sandals?
Answer
If the price has been reduced by 15%, then the new price is:
100% – 15% = 85%
So, £68 represents 85% of the original price.
0.85x = 68
X=68/0.85 = 80
Price of sandals = £80
