*answer! * reese paid $280 for his skis after a 30% discount. what was the original price? also what was the discount that reese received?

Step-by-step explanation:

if he got a 30% discount, that means he paid 70% of the original price.

so 70% of the original price is 280

let x = original price

0.70x = 280

x = 280 / 0.70

x = $ 400 <=== original price

so the discount he received was 30% off of the original price

0.30(400) = $ 120 discount <===

or u could have just taken what he payed and subtracted it from the original price...400 - 280 = $ 120 discount
