The original price of detergent is $10.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Price of detergent after discount = $6.50
It represents 40% discount from the original price.
Therefore,
60% of total value is $6.50
Let,
x represent the total value.
60% of x = $6.50
[tex]\frac{60}{100}x=6.50\\0.6x=6.50[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.6
[tex]\frac{0.6x}{0.6}=\frac{6.50}{0.6}\\x=10.83[/tex]
The original price of detergent is $10.83
