The price of a dvd is $19 . the price is 12% lower than last week. what was the price of the dvd last week? round your answer to the nearest cent. enter your answer in the box.

The original cost of the DVD was $21`.59

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you first must note that the new price is 88% of the older price. We get this since there was a subtraction of 12%.

Now knowing that, we can divide the new price by the percentage paid and it will give us the original price.

$19/88% = Original Cost

19/.88 = Original Cost

$21.59 = Original Cost
