Question

A sweater is on sale for $33. This is 75% of the original price. Find the original price?

Answer 1

75% of the original price is $33.

33 = 75% * x

33 = 75/100 * x

33 = 3/4 * x

x = 33 * 4/3

x = 11 * 4

x = 44


The original price of the sweater was $44.

Answer 2

It was $44
I just plugged in numbers I did 44*0.75 and it gave me 33.
