an appliance store sells an oven for 25%off the original price the sale price is $251.85 not including tax what is the price of the oven, not including tax, before the discount is applied

Answer: The price of the oven before the discount is applied is $335.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

Discount: 25% = 0.25 (25/100=0.25, decimal form) Sale price = 251.85 Original price: x

So, if we multiply the original price by 0.75 (full price percentage - discount percentage) we will obtain the sale price:

x (1-0.25) = 251.85

Solving for x:

x 0.75 = 251.85

x = 251.85/0.75

x = $335.8
