Question

A store discounts the price of a beanbag chair by 20%. The price of the beanbag chair is marked as $16. What was the original price of the beanbag chair?

Answer 1

Use this to solve:

4/5 = 16/x

Since these are equivalent fractions;

you can divide 16 by 4

then multiply by 5

that should give you the original price of the bean bag chair!
