To find the original price of the Ramu steak, which is the price before the 20% discount was applied, you can follow these steps:
1. Let's denote the original price of the steak as "P."
2. With a 20% discount, the price after the discount is 80% of the original price (100% - 20% = 80%). Therefore, the price after the discount is 80% of P.
3. If the price after the discount is K16.00, we can set up an equation to find the original price:
80% of P = K16.00
4. To find P, divide both sides by 80% (or 0.80 as a decimal):
P = K16.00 / 0.80
5. Calculate the original price:
P = K20.00
Therefore, the original price of the Ramu steak was K20.00 before the 20% discount was applied.
