Question

Furniture was bought at a 40% reduction sale for $165.00. What was the listed price of the furniture?

(A) $ 275.00

(B) $ 175.00

(C) $ 200.00

(D) $ 375.00

(E) $ 300.00


Analysis

If the listed price of the furniture was $ X, it is given that 60% of $ X is equal to $165.00.

= 60X / 100 = 165

= X = [165 x 100] / 60

= X = 16500/60

= X = 275.

So, the listed price of the furniture is $275.00.

So, the answer is (A).
