Question

At the local department store sweaters have been reduced to $15 this price is at 75% of the original price for sweaters given this what was the original price of the sweaters

pleas answer

Answer 1

since 75% = 3/4
then $15 = 3/4 of the original price

Divide 15 ÷ 3 to get the 25% of the original price
(1/4 of the price)

15 ÷ 3 = 5

$5 is the 25% of the original price

so, if 25% + 75% = 100%
then $5 + $15 = $20

The original price for the sweaters was $20.
