1000 watt microwave is on sale for %108.00 which is 20% of the regular price. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

At 20% off, the price is 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price.

80% = 80/100 = 0.80

Let x = original price

0.80x = $108.00

Divided both sides by 0.80 to find x.

x = $108.00 divided by 0.80

x = $135

The original price was $135.

Is this clear?

Answer 2

If $108 is the sale price, then being 20% off the regular price means that it is 80% (100% - 20%) of the regular price. Divide 108 by 0.80 to get $135.

Answer 3

108 divided by .80 = 135

To check this answer of 135 multiply it by .20 = 27dollars they nocked off so 135 - 27 = 108
