Question

aula bought a ski jacket on sale for $8 less than half its original price. She paid $84 for the jacket. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer: $184

$84 = p/2 - $8

$84 + $8 = p/2

$92 = p/2

$92*2 = p

P = $184

Step-by-step explanation:

onsidering that the original price was first halved and then subtracted by 8$ to get a value of 84$, you can reverse all the steps made to get 84$. So first, 84$ + 8$, then (84$+8$) * 2 to reverse it from being halved, and your answer is 184$.
