after being discounted 40%, weather radio sells for $35.97. find the original price (round your answer to the nearest cent)

$89.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = original price

40/100 = 35.97/x

Cross multiply

40 × x = 100 × 35.97

40x = 3597

Divide both sides by 40

x = 89.925

Round to the nearest cent:

5 rounds up so:

89.93

Check your work (use the original number instead of the rounded number to be more exact):

89.925 × 40%

Convert the percentage into a decimal to multiply:

89.925 × 0.40

35.97

Correct!
