Ireland Giles · Answer 1

Discount = 42%

Discount = $126

42% = 126

Find 1%:

1% = 126 : 42 = $3

Find 100% (Original Price):

100% = $3 x 100 = $300

Answer: The original price of the camera is $300.

Isabella Callahan · Answer 2

Let the original price of camera be x. x*42:100=126. x*42=12600. x=12600:42=300. thus 300 is the answer
