Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan only paid $10 for his new Sweater. He got a 25% discount

Let the original price of the sweater be $x. If he gets s 35% discount, it means that the price which she paid was lower than the original price.

Discount of 25% on the original price = 25/100 × x = 0.25x

The amount of money that Juan paid is the original price minus the discount of 25%. It becomes

x - 0.25x = 0.75x

Amount paid = $10. Therefore

0.75x = 10

x = 10/0.75 = $13.33
