A pair of jeans is discounted by 12% and then a further 17% discount is given. If the price now is $125, find the original price.

The original price is $176.06

The original price in percentage terms is 100%

After the first discount, the price is : 100-12% = 88%

After the second discount, the price is 88% - 17% = 71%

The equation can be used to represent the price now

71% x original price = $125

0.71 x p = 125

where p = original price

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.71

p= $176.06
