Question

Felix used $20 off coupon on shoes already on sale for 50% off original price. Total before tax was $74.50. What was the original price

Answer 1

Answer:

$189.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the total cost of the shoes before tax, but after the sale price and coupon were applied, $74.50, first add back the $20 discount from the coupon:

74.50 + 20.00 = 94.50

Then, add the new amount by itself to find the original price since the sale applied a 50% discount:

94.50 + 94.50 = $189.00
