A radio is being discounted 20%.if the is sale of the radio is $51.44, what was the original price of the radio?
The Definition of Porcentage is given by:
\(p= \frac{V_{x}}{V_{t}}\)
Where Vx is discounted value or increased, and Vt is total value. The discount decreases the "p" value.
\(p= \frac{V_{x}}{V_{t}} \\ \frac{(100-20)}{100V_{x}} = \frac{1}{V_{t}} \\ V_{t}= \frac{51.44}{0.8} \\ \boxed {V_{x}=64.3}\)
