Pier 1 Imports is running a 10% sale on furniture. If Amanda spent $378.99 on furniture before tax, what was the price of the furniture before the discount and tax?

$421.10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discount is 10%, that means the sale price is 90% of the original price.

Write the equation that represents that:

378.99 = 0.9x. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 0.9

378.99/0.9 = 421.10

That is the price before the discount and tax.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
