Question

A store is having 20%-off sale on merchandise. If Mai buys one item and saves $13, what was the origin price of her purchase? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Greetings!

If the store is having 20% off and Mai saves $13, then that means 20% = $13, this means you can simply multiply the $13 by five so you can get 100% of the original price:

13 x 5 = 65, so the answer would be $65!

Hope this helps!
