Respuesta :

Given:

Selling price of radio for Masada = 63,000

Loss = 10%

To find:

The amount of money Masada paid for the radio?

Solution:

Let x be the amount of money Masada paid for the radio.

According to the question,

[tex]x-10\%\text{ of }x=63000[/tex]

[tex]x-\dfrac{10}{100}x=63000[/tex]

[tex]x-0.1x=63000[/tex]

[tex]0.9x=63000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.9.

[tex]x=\dfrac{63000}{0.9}[/tex]

[tex]x=70000[/tex]

Therefore, Masada paid 70,000 for the radio.
