Math question >_>

Episode · March 2010

I know I'm gonna get bashed up the ass for this, but whatever, I'm doing my work for school right now, and I need help, how would I do this? I don't know how to word it in Google.

I have to find what the original price is.

The sale price is $48, and it's 10% off.

im pretty sure its 52.80

But what's the process? How do you get the answer?

If you attended school and didn't ditch all the time you would know this. No help for you!

Episode · March 2010

No. I've ALWAYS had problems with Math. I zipped through all my other work with no problem. It's only Math.

mrAPE · March 2010

No excuses.

Episode · March 2010

Please man. It's only these 3 problems and I'm done. I just don't know it's formula.

The price is $48 after 10% is taken off. So, $48 is 90% of the original price. What I would do, is divide by 9, giving you $5.333333333, which is 10% of the original price (90% / 9 = 10%) Now you multiply by 10, giving you 100% of the price. $53.3333333

Basically, you multiply/divide the percentage you have, while doing the exact same things to the price
