Question

Frank paid $22.40 for sweatshirt it had been discounted by 30%. What was the regular price of the sweatshirt?

Answer 1

The original price would be $32.

If the original price marked down 30% is $22.40, than $22.40 must be 70% of some number.

22.40 is 70% of 32. 30% of 32 is 9.60.

If we deduct 30% ($9.60) from 32, we get $22.40, thus proving the answer is $32.

Hope this helps and please give me brainliest!
