Answer 2

Answer:

A pair of boots is on sale for 65 percent off. The original price of the boots in x, $56.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal that is initially being multiplied by x will always be the tax amount so .65 equal 65% so they match. And once you go through with the equation you will see that the number you end up with is 56.12 so it is between original price and sales price to see if you get the correct answer. So seeing as the scenario they gave us above was for a discount or VAT price we would be lead to assume that we are looking for the ORIGINAL price.
