Answer:

The original cost of the dress was $53

Explanation:

To find the answer, we can first add back the 1.35 tax to the final cost of 23.85. This is equal to 25.2

This value is 45% of the original cost, so to find the original cost, we can use a simple rule of three:

$23.85   45%

x              100%

100 x 23.85 / 45 = $53

We can prove this answer by multiplying the resulting value for the corresponding percentage:

$53 x 45% = $23.85

Answer:

Right choice:

B. Putting interests of a particular section or region above those of the nation…this refers to the growing cultural and economic differences between the North and South in the years leading up to the Civil War.
