Respuesta :

Let us assume the original price of the violin to be = x
Sale price of the violin after discount = $50
Percentage of discount given on the violin = 50%
The
(50/100) * x = 50
x/2 = 50
x = 50 * 2 dollars
   = 100 dollars
So the original price of the violin was $100. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this procedure for solving similar problems without the necessity of taking any external help.
The violin is 50% off so 1/2 off so you would do reverse operation so the price would double to get back to its original form so the original price is 100$
