Question

A store is having a sale to promote a new product. Every item in the store is 1/6 off the regular price. If an item is on sale for $74, what was the regular price? Show your work.

Answer 1

1/6 off means the regular price for that item should be: $88.8

Work:

The sale = $74 ÷ 5 × 1 = $14.8

=> The regular price = $14.8 x 6 = $88.8
