Mr yeboah paid GHc 418.00 for a pair of shoes after the shop had allowed a discount of 5 percent.find the actual (marked)price for the shoe.work it as a mathematician
Let the actual (marked) price for the pair of shoes be P.
According to the question, a discount of 5 percent was given on the actual price. So, after the discount, Mr. Yeboah paid 100 - 5 = 95 percent of the actual price.
We can rewrite this as:
95/100 * P = GHc 418.00
Simplifying this equation, we get:
0.95P = GHc 418.00
Dividing both sides by 0.95, we find:
P = GHc 418.00 / 0.95
P ≈ GHc 439.47
Therefore, the actual (marked) price for the shoe is approximately GHc 439.47.
