A leather recliner is on sale for 30% less than its original price. A consumer has a coupon that saves an additional of 25% off of the sale price. If the consumer pays $237 for the recliner, which of the following is the original price of the recliner to the nearest dollar?
A. $316
B. $431
C. $451
D. $527
Total percent discount is 30%+25%=55%
So, the percentage of client pays for the recliner is 100%-55%=45%.
The 45% is what represents $237 and the original price is 100%, which is determined as follows:
The original price of the recliner is $526.60 which is approximately $527.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
