There is sales of 40% off of the original price. If a mobile phone has a sale price of $180, what was the original price? Choose the correct answer.
A) $200
B) $280
C) $300
D) 320$

Respuesta :

100%-40%=60%
60%=180
100%=? 180*100:60=300$ c)

Answer:

$300

Step-by-step explanation:

If the phone has a discount of 40% that means it cost 60% of the original price

X= original price (100%)

$180  =  60% of the original price

    X   =  100%

 CROSS MULTIPLICATION

60X   =   180x100

60X =  18000

Divide both sides by 60

X  = 300
