Fiona has a coupon for $3 off the price of her meal at a local fast food establishment. her favorite meal is on sale at a special rate of 10% off the combo price. if fiona paid $8.25 for her meal, before taxes, what was the original price of the meal?

Sagot :

The Original price of the meal was $12.16.

Discount Percent is defined as the discount given on the product per hundred .

For Example . if there is 10% discount on a price of $100.

The final amount will be $90.

Final amount paid by Fiona = $8.25

percentage discount = 10%

Let the original amount be x.

According to the question ;

x - 10% of x = 8.25

[tex]x-\frac{10}{100} *x=8.25\\ \\ \frac{100x-10x}{100} =8.25\\ \\ \frac{90x}{100} =8.25\\ \\ x=\frac{8.25*100}{90}\\ \\ x=\frac{825}{90} \\ \\ x=9.16[/tex]

Since Fiona also had a discount coupon of  $3.

The original amount will be $9.16+$3=$12.16.

Therefore , The original price of the meal was $12.16.
