Question

A store is having a 20% off sale on all merchandise. If Mai buys one item and saves $13, what was the original price of her purchase? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If a store is having a 20% off sale

By buying an item you save 20% of the price

If Mai saves $13 on an item she is also saving 20%

$13 = 20% of the price

$65 = 100% of the original price

$65 is your answer!

Answer 2

The Answer is $65! The orignal price of the item $65 because if you save $13 on a 20% off sale it would make the orignal price $65
