You saved 200 pesos for buying an external hard drive which is marked “5% discount.” How much was the price of the hard without the discount?

Sagot :

Since the saved money is 200 pesos and the hard drive is marked 5%, then we can say that 200 is the 5% of the actual amount.

-----------------------------------

Let 'c' be the price without the discount

5%c = 200

converting 5% to decimal you'll have:

0.05c = 200

dividing the whole equation by 0.05

0.05c = 200

c = 200/0.05

c = 4,000

--------------------------------------

Therefore the actual price is 4,000
