Question

Kelsey has a 88% discount coupon for a wedding store. She sees a new prom dress that she wants to buy. After the 88% discount was applied, Kelsey paid $30 for the prom dress. What was the original price of the prom dress?

Answer 1

'34 dollars do .88 ÷ 30 to find out the cost

Answer 2

88% Discount
$30 sale price
(Discounted price) = (100 percent - discount percent) x (original price)
$30 = (100% - 88%) x (op)
$30 = 12% x op
$30 = 0.12 x op
$30/0.12 = 0.12/0.12 x op
$250 = op
So, $250 is the original price.
