PLEASE HELP!

Isaac purchased a pair of skates at a 15% off sale.
If he saved $19.50, what was the original price of
the skates?

the original price is $130

you should find out 19.5 is 15% of what number ( if he saved $19.5
so the 15% off sale was $19.5 less than the original price.) the answer will be :

19.5*100 /15 = 1950 /15= 130



good luck
