Question

A store has a 25%, percent off sale on coats. With this discount, the price of one coat is $34.50. What is the original price of the coat?

Answer 1

$46 is the original price of the coat.

Explanation:

Let the price of one coat in a store is x rupees.

Since store has given a discount of 25% on coats, so the price of the coat will be x - 25x/100 = x - x/4 = 3x/4

Since this price is the selling price put on the coat.Therefore the equation will become as

3x/4 = 34.50

x = 34.5×4/3 = 138/3 = $46

Therefore original price of the coat is $46.
