Discount Problems
1. Problem 1: Loremea received a 5% discount which saved her ₱634.50. We need to find the original price (let's call it $P$).
Discount = 5% of original price = $0.05P$
Given discount = 634.50, so
$$0.05P = 634.50$$
Divide both sides by 0.05:
$$P = \frac{634.50}{0.05} = 12690$$
Original price is ₱12690.
2. Problem 2: Tuition fee is ₱23 990 and discount given is ₱3 838.40. We need to find the discount rate in percentage.
Discount rate = $\frac{Discount}{Total\ fee} \times 100$
$$\text{Discount rate} = \frac{3838.40}{23990} \times 100 = 16\%$$
The discount rate is 16%.
3. Problem 3: The sale price of the printer is ₱12 241.25 after a 12.5% discount. We need the original price $P$.
Sale price = Original price - discount
Discount = 12.5% of $P$ = $0.125P$
Therefore:
$$Sale = P - 0.125P = 0.875P$$
Given sale price:
$$0.875P = 12241.25$$
Divide both sides by 0.875:
$$P = \frac{12241.25}{0.875} = 13990$$
Original price is ₱13990.
4. Problem 4: Isaac wants a 17.5% profit on a bracelet bought at ₱15 990. We want the selling price.
Profit = 17.5% of ₱15 990 = $0.175 \times 15990 = 2798.25$
Selling price = Cost price + Profit = 15990 + 2798.25 = 18788.25
Isaac should sell the bracelet for ₱18788.25.
5. Problem 5: The markup price is ₱175.50, which is 18% of the original price $P$.
$$0.18P = 175.50$$
Divide both sides by 0.18:
$$P = \frac{175.50}{0.18} = 975$$
The original price is ₱975.
