in a sale normal prices are reduced by 30 percent the sale price of a tv is £280 work out the normal price of the TV

Let the normal price of the TV be denoted as \( x \). 

Since the price is reduced by 30%, the sale price is 70% of the normal price. So we can write the following equation:

\[
0.7x = 280
\]

To find the normal price, divide both sides of the equation by 0.7:

\[
x = \frac{280}{0.7} = 400
\]

Thus, the normal price of the TV is **£400**.
