Practice makes perfect
The sales price is the original price minus the discount in dollars.
Original price- Discount= Sales priceLet x be the original price. We can find the value of the discount by multiplying the original price by the discount rate. This means that that 20 % of x is the discount. We are told that the difference between the original price and this discount is $ 75.
Original price_x-Discount_(x * 20 %) =Sales price_($ 75)
Let's solve the resulting equation for x by combining the x-terms and using the Division Property of Equality.
