What is the unit price for 20 oz. Bottle of pop for $1.60?
To find the original amount, we need to reverse the 75% increase.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal form.
75% = 75/100 = 0.75
Step 2: Divide the new amount by the decimal form of the percentage increase.
Original amount = New amount / (1 + percentage increase)
Original amount = 210 / (1 + 0.75)
Step 3: Calculate the original amount.
Original amount = 210 / 1.75
Original amount ≈ 120
Therefore, the original amount is approximately 120.
