Question

Joyce paid $15.00 for an item at the store that was 70 percent off the original price. What was the original price?

Answer 1

So we know that $15 was 70% of the original. We can then cross multiply and divide (15 x 100 ÷ 70) The answer you get is 21.4285714 which then rounded is $21.43!! I hope this helped!
