Question

Tina bought a makup box that was on sale for 80% off. In total, she spent $21.60 (without tax). What was the origional price for the makeup box?

Answer 1

Okay, so first I want to turn 80% into a decimal.

80%= .8

Multiply .8 by 21.60

.8*21.60= 17.28

Add 17.28 to the discounted price.

21.60+17.28= 38.88

38.88 is the original price.
