Today only, a table is being sold at a 64% discount. The sale price is 244.80. What was the price yesterday
The original price of the table would be 64% more than the sale price of 244.80.
Let x be the original price of the table.
x = 244.80 / (100% - 64%) = 244.80 / 36% = 244.80 / 0.36 ≈ 680
Therefore, the price of the table yesterday would have been approximately $680.
