Answer:
The original price of the pants was $30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be equal to the original price of the pants.
Because the pants are 40% off, their final price was 60% of the original price. 60% as a decimal is 0.6. Using this information, we can set up the following equation and solve:
0.6x=18
Divide both sides by 0.6
0.6x/0.6=18/0.6
x=30
