Question

A store reduces the price of a jacket by 40%. The sale of the jacket is marked as $30.00.

What percent of the original price is the sale price?


Can someone help me?

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

Sales Price = 100 - 40 = 60%

The sales price is $30.00

Therefore 60% is equal to $30.00

60% = $30

1% = 30 ÷ 60 = $0.50

100% = 5 x 100 = $50

The original price is $50

Percentage of the original price = 30/50 x 100 = 60%
