Question

Annalise buys a pair of sunglasses for 30% off and saves $15. What is the original price of the pair of sunglasses?

*

Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

We will call x the original price of the sunglasses.

We can create the equation below using the information given.

`x*(30)/(100) =15`

Now solve for x.

`x = 15*(100)/(30)`

`x = (100)/(2)`

`x=50`
