Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Regular price = $ 20

Reduction  = 18% of regular price

                 = 0.18 * 20

                 = 3.6

Discount price = 20 - 3.6 = $ 16.4

2) Regular price = $ x

Reduction  = 18% of regular price

                 = 0.18 * x

                 = 0.18x

Discount price =$ (20 - 0.18x)

3) Discount price = $ 18.45

Let the regular price be x

(100 - 18)%  of x = 18.45

           82% of x = 18.45

          [tex]\frac{82}{100}*x=18.45\\\\ x = 18.45* \frac{100}{82}\\\\ x = 22.50[/tex]

Regular price = $22.50
