Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price
.12 * x = 25
In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides
x = 25/.12
After you divide, you should get the number 208.33
25/.12 = 208.33
So, the original list price is $208.33
Answer:
$208.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the original list price is x.
Now if the discount is $25 and the discount rate is 12%, we can write it as:
Discount rate = [tex]= \frac{12}{100}[/tex] = 0.12
So we get the following equation:
[tex] 0 . 1 2 x = 2 5 [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac { 2 5 } { 0 . 1 2 } [/tex]
x = $208.3
Therefore, the original list price will be $208.3 .
