Question 3 • 2025-2026 GSP Mathematical Reasoning for Decision Making

After receiving a discount of 7.5% on its bulk order of notebooks, John's Office Supply pays $7400. What was the price of the order before the discount?

Answer
A
$7955
B
$6845
C
$8000
D
$7215

Explanation

After a 7.5% discount, John’s Office Supply paid 100% − 7.5% = 92.5% of the original price. So the original price was $7,400 ÷ 0.925 = $8,000. The correct choice is $8,000.
