I need help with a few problems! Here they are:


1) Your parents buy a frige at 15% discount and pay $990. How much money did they save? What was the original price of the fridge?

2) If the price of gas increases from 2.50 per gallon to 2.75 per gallon, what would the percentage increase be?

3) The balance in your savings account increased by 5%, and the new balance is $750. What was the balance before the increase?


There were 10 problems on my worksheet, and I figured the rest of them out; unfortunately, I just cannot figure these out! Any help would be incredible.

Hint: Original Price - 15% of original price equals the amount paid for the frige (whatever that is).
