Question

A Store recudes the price of a jacket by 40%. The sale price of the jacket is $30.

A. What percent of the original price is the sale's price

B. What was the original price of the jacket.

Answer 1

A. 60%

B. The original price is $50

Explanation:

A. 60%

Sales Price = 100 - 40 = 60%

The sales price is $30.00

Therefore 60% is equal to $30.00

60% = $30

1% = 30 ÷ 60 = $0.50

100% = 5 x 100 = $50

B. The original price is $50

Percentage of the original price = 30/50 x 100 = 60%
