Question

Sweet T purchased a new pair of pants to wear to the battle of the bands on sale at 40 % off . He saved $20 . What was the regular price of the jeans ?

Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer is $50 because $20 is 40%, so times that by 2 which you get $20 and 80%. Then you divide 20 by 2 then you get 10 which is 20% so you add 10 and you get $50 which is 100%
