Question

A bag is on sale for $30. If the sale is 25% off, what was the original price of the bag? Explain your thinking

Answer 1

Answer:

$40.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 25 % off and the sale price is $30, the original price was $40.

The sale price is 75 % of the original price. Therefore,

0.75x=30

30/.75=40

Answer 2

Answer:

30x25/100

25%=7,5$

30+7,5$=37,5$

The original price was 37,5 because you had to first find out what was 25% in $ to then do the opposite of a sale since we are finding the original price so we have to add it to 30$ since 30$ was the price after the sale.

Hope this helps, have a good day!
