YoIn a sale, the normal price of a book is reduced by 30%. The sale price of the book is £2.80 Work out the normal price of the book.

£4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that when the normal price of a book is reduced by 30%, then the sale price of the book is £2.80.

Since the normal price of a book is reduced by 30%, that means the book is sold at (100% - 30%) = 70% of its normal price.

Let the normal price of the book be y.

70% of y = £2.80

70/100 × y = £2.80

0.7 × y = £2.80

0.7y = £2.80

y = £2.80/0.7

y = £4

The normal price of the book is £4.
