Nichole is out shopping and finds a $51.00 bike that was
marked down by 92%.
How much was the item originally?

Sagot :

it was originally "x" or that is 100%.  We also know that she found it for 51 bucks, and that those 51 bucks are 100% - 92% = 8% of the original price, so

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 51&8 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{51}=\cfrac{100}{8}\implies \cfrac{x}{51}=\cfrac{25}{2} \\\\\\ 2x=1275\implies x=\cfrac{1275}{2}\implies x=637.5[/tex]
