Question

The regular price rounded to the nearest cent

Answer 1

$189.43

Explanation:

To find the original price, write a proportion. In your proportion, write one ration that has sale price over original price. The other ratio should be written with the corresponding percent values. Since the sale price is 65% off then you paid 35% of the regular the price. The proportion should be:

`(66.30)/(x)= (35)/(100)`

To solve cross multiply numerator and denominator of each fraction.

66.30(100) = x(35)

6630 = 35x

189.43 = x

This means the regular price is $189.43.
