Mark buys last year's best-selling novel, in hardcover, for $23.20. This is with a 20% discount from the original price. What was the original price of the novel?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

( 1 - 20% ) x = 23.2

[tex] 0.8x = 23.2[/tex]

[tex] \frac{0.8x}{0.8} = \frac{23.2}{0.8} [/tex]

[tex] x = 29[/tex]
