Question

4. Jacki's new coat was on sale for 40% of the original price. If Jacki paid $80 for her coat, what was the original price? ​

Answer 1

$200 is the original price.

Answer 2

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $80 is 40% of the original price, we can think of it this way:

80 ÷ 4 = 20 (The 4 represents the 40%)

20 · 6 = 120 (The 6 represents the remaining 60%)

80 + 120 = 200

Therefore, the original cost of the jacket was $200
