Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4 of their original price. Jade pays a total of $31.50 for the two items. If the original p
rice of the blouse is $18, what is the original price of the skirt?
1 answer:
Answer:
The skirt was originally 24 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 ( b+s) = 31.50
where b is the original price of the blouse and s is the original price of the skirt
b = 18
3/4 ( 18+s) = 31.50
Multiply each side by 4/3
4/3 * 3/4 ( 18+s) = 31.50 *4/3
18+s =42
Subtract 18 from each side
18+s-18 = 42-18
s =24
The skirt was originally 24 dollars
