Question

Sweet T purchased a new pair of jeans to wear to the Battle of the Bands on sale at 40% off. He saved $ 20. What was the regular price of the jeans?

Answer 1

The regular price of the jeans was $50. We know this because he saved $20 when the pants were 40% off so for every 10% percent it is $5, so 100% is $50 if that makes sense, if you need more thorough explanation let me know. :)
