Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

`(30)/(x) =(60)/(100) \\\\60x=3000\\\\x=50`

Answer 2

Answer:$50

Explanation:

So we have the sweater that’s $30 with a sale of 60% of the original price.

That means $30=60% of the original

So

30=60%start with this

5=10% divide 6 by both sides to get 10%

50=100% times by 10 to get 100%, which is the original price.

So the original price of this sweater is $50
