at a sale search were sold for $15 each. This price was 80% of the original price. What was the original price?

emmasim [6.3K]

Let's say the original price was "x", thus "x" is the 100%, and we know that 15 is 80% of that, thus

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
15&80
\end{array}\cfrac{x}{15}=\cfrac{100}{80}\implies x=\cfrac{1500}{80}$
