Question

Sasha has a 35% off coupon. Her total before tax came to $23.00. How much did the item originally cost? (round to the nearest hundreds) PLS help!! (middle school and pls show work)

Answer 1

The original cost of the product was $35.68.

Explanation:

As Sasha has a discount coupon of 35%, the final amount that he will pay is 65% of the initial value of the product (100 - 35). Thus, 65% of the value is $ 23. Therefore, to determine the initial cost of the product, it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

65 = 23

100 = X

((100 x 23) / 65) = X

2,300 / 65 = X

35.68 = X

Therefore, the initial value of the product was $ 35.68.
