A retail store offers all television sets at 80% or 80/100 of their original price if the customer buys a store membership for 100.00. If the p is the price of a television set. How much will a 1500.00 television cost

Answer: $1875

Step-by-step explanation:

If 80% of original price = $1500

Let the remaining 20% be x

Write as:

80/100 = $1500

20/100 = x

Cross multiply

0.8x = 1500 x 0.2

0.8x = 300

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 300/0.8

x = 375

Therefore, 80% = 1500; 20% = 375

Price of $1500 TV without membership = $1,500 + $375

=$1,875
