Original 5364

The shop reduced the car to 85% of the original price. It now costs € 6,375. How many euros was the original price higher?

Correct answer:

x =  1125 Eur

Step-by-step explanation:


a · 0.85 = 6375
x = a - 6375

0.85a = 6375
a-x = 6375

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
a-x = 6375
0.85a = 6375

Row 2 - 0.85000000000036 · Row 1 → Row 2
a-x = 6375
0.85x = 956.25


x = 956.25/0.85 = 1125
a = 6375+x = 6375+1125 = 7500

a = 7500
x = 1125
