Question

All of the coats in a clothing store were on sale for 30% off the original price. Carlotta paid $41.30 for a coat after the discount. What was the original price of the coat in dollars?

Answer 1

(original price) -0.30*(original price) = $41.30
(original price)*0.7 = $41.30
(original price) = $41.30/0.70 = $59.00

The coat's original price was $59.00.
