Answer:
[tex]\$4,400[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original price of the furniture
Remember that
[tex]100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80[/tex]
we know that
The original price multiplied by 0.80 must be equal to the cost of the furniture after a 20% reduction
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
[tex]0.80x=3,520.00[/tex]
solve for x
Divide by 0.80 both sides
[tex]x=\$4,400[/tex]
