Respuesta :

calculista
let
x---------> original price

we know that
x*0.80=$234-------> divide  by 0.80 both sides
x=234/0.80
x=$292.5

the answer is
$292.5

Answer:

A) $292.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price.  80% of x is found by multiplying by 0.8:

0.8x = 234

Divide both sides by 0.8:

0.8x/0.8 = 234/0.8

x = 292.5
