Answer: the original price of the book is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the book.
It was marked down 50% of its original price. This means that the amount by which the original price was reduced is
50/100 × x = 0.5 × x = 0.5x
The sale price would be
x - 0.5x = 0.5x
He also used a coupon to save an additional 40% off the sale price. This means that the value of the applied coupon is
40/100 × 0.5x = 0.2x
The amount that he would pay for the book is
0.5x - 0.2x = 0.3x
If Kameron paid $3.60 for a book, it means that
0.3x = 3.6
x = 3.6/0.3
x = $12
Answer:
$12 is the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this question on the test, and I got it correct and here is the prove.
12(1-0.5)= 6
6(1-0.4)= 3.6
So here we got the price that Kameron paid for the book.
