Let ( mathcal{X} ) represent the original price. A retailer is looking to make (  125 ) profit after a ( 20 % ) discount and a (  5 ) off coupon on a range that cost the retailer (  255 ) to procure. What was the original price of the range?

Accepted Answer

Step:1 ：( textrm{Let } mathcal{X} textrm{ represent the original price} )Step:2 ：( mathcal{X} - 0.20 cdot mathcal{X} - 5 = 255 + 125 )Step:3 ：( mathcal{X} = frac{380}{0.80} )

Answer

Step: 1 ：( textrm{Let } mathcal{X} textrm{ represent the original price} )Step: 2 ：( mathcal{X} - 0.20 cdot mathcal{X} - 5 = 255 + 125 )Step: 3 ：( mathcal{X} = frac{380}{0.80} )

Let \( \mathcal{X} \) represent the original price. A retailer is looking to make \( \$ 125 \) profit after a \( 20 \% \) discount and a \( \$ 5 \) off coupon on a range that cost the retailer \( \$ 255 \) to procure. What was the original price of the range?
