Question

Julio bought soccer shoes at a $35% off sale and saved $42. What was the regular price of the shoes?

Answer 1

Answer:

$120

Step-by-step explanation:

35% : 42

100% : X

42/35 = X/100

X = 100×42/35

X = $120

Answer 2

Original price was 120.

35/100 ÷ 5 = 7/20 (reduce)

7/20 × ? = 42/?

42 ÷ 7 = 6

7/20 × 6 = 42/120

so 120 was the regular price.
