Reid's Hardware discounts all riding lawnmowers 6% to customers paying in cash. If Trey paid $1,278.75 in cash for a riding lawnmower, then what was the original price of the lawnmower?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$ 1360.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we call the original price of the lawnmower x.

That means, to get a discount, the equation would be,

x * 1 -  x * 6% = 1278.75

= (94/100) * x = 1278.75

= (47/50) * x = 1278.75

x = 1278.75 * 47 / 50

= 1360.37
