The original price of the dress was $200. This is because 20% of 200 is $40 which was the price after the discount.
Hope this helps :>
Hey!
Alright, the first step to solving this division problem would be to convert the mixed fraction into a simple fraction. To do that, we'll multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add that total to the numerator.
<em>Original Fraction :</em>

<em>New Fraction {Changed by Conversion} :</em>

Now that we've successfully done that we'll have to change the equation.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

÷

= ?
<em>New Equation {Changed by Flipping the Second Fraction and the Symbol} :</em>

·

= ?
Now we multiply straight across.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

·

= ?
<em>Solved :</em>

Almost done!
Now we have to simplify the fraction.
<em>Old Fraction :</em>

<em>New Fraction {Changed by Simplification} :</em>

Now just convert it to a whole number by removing the fraction line and the number, and that's it!
<span><em>So,

÷

equals</em></span>
15.

Answer:
did you ever get help?
Step-by-step explanation:
i wanna know
The percent of change would be -33.3% which would then equal a 33.3% decrease (when decimal is rounded)
what I did was turn 1/4 and 1/2 into decimals to make it easier to solve
2(x+4)=18
2•x + 2•4 = 18
2x + 8 = 18
2x + 8 = 18
- 8 -8
_________
2x = 10
2x = 10
__ __
÷2 ÷2
x = 5
