Question

With an 18% discount, Joan was able to save $13.23 when buying a coat. What was the original price of the coat?

Answer 1

p(18/100)=13.23

18p=1323

p=$73.50

Answer 2

The original price of the coat was $73.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joan got a discount of 18% on buying a coat.

He was able to save $13.23.

Let the original price of the coat = x

Therefore,

18% of x = 13.23

Now we have to solve this to get the original price of coat

`(18)/(100)`x = 13.23

`x=(13.23)/(0.18)`

x = 73.5

The original price of the coat was $73.50
