Question

A video game is on sale for 20% off. The sale price of the game is $35.00. How much did the game ORIGINALLY cost?

Answer 1

$43.75

Explanation:

To find how much the game would have been 20% off from 43.75, you would have needed the expression

43.75*0.8

So to go from 35 to 43.75, you need the expression

35/0.8.

This expression in simpler terms means What is 38, 80% of?

That is how we get 43.75.

35/0.8 = 43.75.
