Answer:

$50

Explanation:

Sale on sweater = 40% .

Money saved = $20 .

Let original price be x then ,

=> 40% of x = $20

=> 40x/100 = $20

=> x = $20 *100/40

=> x = $ 50

Let x be the regular price of the sweater
40% of x = $20
0.40x = 20
Divide both sides by 0.40: x = 80

The regular price of the sweater is $80
