Question

At a sale this week, a suit is being sold for 221 . This is65% of the original price. What is the original price?

Answer 1

Answer: The original price is $340

Step-by-step explanation: To get the original price you can simply divide by the percentage as a decimal. In this case you would divide by .65. We do this because to get the discounted price you would multiply by .65 so we can do the opposite to the discounted price to get the original price.
