Finding the Original Price of a TV with a 15% Discount
The question appears to contain a small error, mentioning both a TV and a laptop. However, based on the information provided, we will proceed with the assumption that we are finding the original price of the TV.
The TV is sold at a 15% discount, which means the price of $2400 is 85% of the original price (because 100% - 15% = 85%). To find the original price, we can set up an equation where the original price is represented by \( P \):
\( 0.85P = $2400 \)
Now, to find \( P \), we divide both sides by 0.85:
\( P = \frac{$2400}{0.85} \)
\( P = $2823.53 \)
Therefore, the original price of the TV was approximately $2823.53.
