Question

Please can somebody help me solve

"Andy buys a top hat that has been reduced in a sale by 35%. If the sale price is £13, what was its original price?"

Answer 1

I wanna say B

Explanation:

Answer 2

35% of the original price was slashed off of it.
So 65% of it remained.
That's the £13 . . . 65% of the original price.

65% means 0.65.

0.65 x (original price) = £13 .

Divide each side by 0.65: Original price = £13/0.65

= £20 .
