Question

A store has a %25, percent off sale on coats. With this discount, the price of one coat is $34.50. What is the original price of the coat?

Answer 1

Answer:$46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be there original price

25% of a

25/100 x a

25a/100=a/4

a-a/4

(4a-a)/4

3a/4

3a/4=34.50

Cross multiplying we get

3a=4x34.50

3a=138

Divide both sides by 3

3a/3=138/3

a=46
