Answer:
$300 is the regular price
Step-by-step explanation:
(100%-33%) = 67%
67% * x = $201
x = $201 / 67%
x = $201 * 100 / 67 = $20100 / 67 = $300
The regular price of the sofa is $300
"I is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of 100."
For given question,
Let 'x' be the regular price of the sofa.
The selling price of a sofa is, SP = $201
This price is 33% less than the regular price.
First we find the 33 percent of the regular price.
33% of x
[tex]=x\times \frac{33}{100}\\\\=x\times 0.33\\\\=0.33x[/tex]
The selling price price is 33% less than the regular price.
⇒ SP = x - 0.33x
⇒ 201 = x(1 - 0.33)
⇒ 201 = x(0.67)
⇒ x = 300
Therefore, the regular price of the sofa is $300
