Question

After all markdowns and discounts, Charlene's prom dress cost her $22 before tax. The dress was on a rack labeled "50% off lowest marked price," and the lowest marked price was already a 75% reduction from the original price. What was the original price of the dress?

Answer 1

Answer: $88.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

The cost of the dress for the prom = $22

label of the rack the dresss was on = 50%.

lowest marked price for the dress = 75%.

Solution:

if the lowest marked price of the cloth was already 75%.

and the current cost of the clothe is $22

the original cost of the cloth would be

100% – 75% = 0.25%

= $22 * 100 / 0.25%

= $88.

The original cost of the dress was $88
