A bike is on scale for 15% off. I paid $125 for the bike. What is the original price?



Answer :

Answer:

Therefore, the original price of the bike was approximately $147.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price of the bike before the 15% discount, you can set up an equation. Since you paid $125 for the bike after the 15% discount, the original price can be represented as x.

Given that you paid $125 after a 15% discount:

Original price - 15% of the original price = $125

Mathematically, this can be written as:

x - 0.15x = $125

Solving for x:

0.85x = $125

x = $125 / 0.85

x ≈ $147.06

Therefore, the original price of the bike was approximately $147.06.
