Tamara purchased a CD player at a “25% off” sale for $68.25. To determine the original price, p, of the CD player, solve the equation p-0.25p= 68.25.

Respuesta :

Given:

The original price is given by 'p'

The equation describing the situation is given as:

[tex]p-0.25p=68.25[/tex]

Solving for p ,

[tex]\begin{gathered} p(1-0.25)=68.25 \\ p(0.75)=68.25 \\ p=\frac{68.25}{0.75} \\ p=91 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the original price 'p' of the CD player is $ 91.
