Question

A sweater was on sale for 40% off regular price LSA saved $20 by buying that sweater on sale what was the regular price of the sweater

Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

Sale on sweater = 40% .

Money saved = $20 .

Let original price be x then ,

=> 40% of x = $20

=> 40x/100 = $20

=> x = $20 *100/40

=> x = $ 50

Answer 2

The original price of the sweater was $28

Explanation:

To find out the answer to this problem you need to first convert the percent into a decimal which would be 0.4 and then to solve the problem in one step you need it to be 140% which would be 1.4 as a decimal. Then you need to multiply 20 by 1.4 which gives you 28 and 28 would be the total cost of the shirt at it's regular price.
