Question

Carlos bought a suit on sale for $560. This price was 36% less than the original price.

What was the original price?

Answer 1

875

Explanation:

100 - 36 = 64

36% less means

$560 is 64% of the original price

64% is .64

64% of original price = 560

.64 times x = 560

.64x = 560

x = 560 ÷ .64 =

x = 560/.64 =
