Question

For its back to school sale, fra diavolo's books marked down its entire stock of novels 60% for the weekend. Their sale price during this time is $11.99. What will the price return to on monday morning?

Answer 1

First, you need to find 60% of $11.99. I used this proportion:

`(x)/(11.99) = (60)/(100)`
My answer was $7.19.

You then add that back to the $11.99
to get the Monday price with no sale. Your final answer should be $19.18
