Question

A jacket is on sale for 70% of the original price. If the discount saves $45 what was the original price of the jacket? What is the sale price?

Answer 1

original price= $150, sale price= $105

Explanation:

since it is on sale for 70% of original price, there is 30% off discount.

$45 is 30% of original price (original price is 100%)

1% of original price

= $45 ÷ 30

= $1.50

original price

= $1.50 × 100

=$150

sale price (70% of original price)

= $1.50 × 70

= $105
