Question

In a sale, all the prices are reduced by 25%. Julie sees a jacket that cost $32 before the sale. How much does it cost in the sale?​

Answer 1

Answer: oringial sale price = $40

Explanation:

Find 25% of the sale price and add it to the sale price to find the original price

So - 10% - is 3.2

20% - is 3.2 x 2 =6.4

5% - is 3.2 divided by 2 = 1.6

25% - 6.4 + 1.6 = 8

Original sale price - $8 + $32 = $40
