Answer:
- [tex]Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount[/tex]
- Sales price= $[tex]1167.25[/tex] List price=L Discount[tex]=19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L[/tex]
- [tex]1167.25=L-0.195L[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage discount is [tex]19.5\%[/tex]
The discount is always given on the list price.
[tex]Sales\:\:Price=List\:\:Price-Discount[/tex]
Let the list price be L, then
List price=L
Sales price= $[tex]1167.25[/tex]
Discount[tex]=19.5\%\:of\:L=0.195L[/tex]
We substitute into the equation to get:
[tex]1167.25=L-0.195L[/tex]
[tex]1167.25=0.805L[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.805
[tex]\frac{1167.25}{0.805}=L[/tex]
[tex]1450=L[/tex]
The list price of the swimming pool is $1450
