After being discounted 20 percent a radio sells for 63.96. What is the original price?

Given:

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 \(\\$79.95\).
