Question

A sweater is on sale for 20%

off the regular price. The sale price is $60 . What is the regular price of the sweater?

Answer 1

$48

Explanation:

List price = $60.00

Discount = 20% .

Hence the new price is (100-20)% = 80% of original price .

=> price = $ 60* 80/100

=> price = $ 48

Answer 2

$72 To find out how much the sweater is without 20% off, you need to do this formula:

$60 x 20%

The answer is $12.

So, 20% of $60 is $12.

Now, you need to add 60 and 12 together to get the original sale price.

60 + 12

The answer is 72.

So the original price for the sweater is 72 dollars.
