Discounted price = $63.96
Discount rate = 20%
To Find:
Original price
Solution:
Let the original price be \(x\). Then the discount is 20% of \(x\), which is \(0.2x\). Therefore, the discounted price is:
$$x - 0.2x = 0.8x $$
Given that the discounted price is $63.96, we have:
$$0.8x = 63.96$$
Solving for \(x\), we get:
$$x = \frac{63.96}{0.8} = 79.95$$
Therefore, the original price of the radio was \(\\$79.95\).
