After a 30% reduction, you purchase a new television for $161. What was the price of the television before the reduction?

so the price of the TV now is 100-30=70% of the origonal price so 161=70% If you divide both sides by 7 then multiply by 10 you should get your answer so 161/7=70/7%=23=10% times 10 23=10% 230=100% so the origonal price before redution=$230

p=price of television before reduction
7/10 = 30% reduction as 70/100 is 7/10.


7/10 p=$161 ** ** 7p=$1,610
** p=($1,610)/7
** p=$230 *

The original price of the television before the 30% reduction was $230. After a 30% reduction, it was purchased for $161. This can be calculated by setting up the equation with the formula for the percentage reduction.
