Question

With an 18% discount, Joan was able to save $13.23 for a coat. What was the original price of the coat?

Answer 1

Answer:

The original price of the coat is $ 73.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price( in dollars ) of the coat.

Since, discount percentage = 18%,

Then  the amount of discount = 18% of x

$=\frac{18x}{100}$

According to the question,

$\frac{18x}{100}=13.23$

$18x = 1323$

$\implies x =\frac{1323}{18}=73.5$

Hence, the original price of the coat is $ 73.5.

Answer 2

P(18/100)=13.23

18p=1323

p=$73.50
