The price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667
Given that Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount
To find: The price of the tablet before the discount
Let "a" be the price of the tablet before the discount or original price
After receiving a 25 percent discount means 25 percent discount in original price
Discount = 25 % of original price
Discount = 25 % of "a"
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\text {discount}=\frac{25}{100} \times a} \\\\ {\text {discount}=0.25 a}\end{array}[/tex]
Now we can say that,
price of tablet after discount = price of the tablet before the discount - discount
2000 = a - 0.25a
0.75a = 2000
a = 2666.67 ≈ 2667
Thus the price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667
