At a department store, the price of a freezer is marked up 15% to $450.50.

What was the price of the freezer BEFORE the mark up?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The price was $391.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer this using algebra:-

Let the original price be $x, then:

x + 15% of x = 450

x + 0.15x = 450

1.15x = 450

x = 450/1.15

x = 391.304
