Question

at a sale, shirts were sold for 15 dollars each. The price was 80% of their original price. what was the original price?

Answer 1

$18.75

Explanation:

Percent Proportions Formula- a/b = n/100

15/b = 80/100

Then using cross multiplication i would end up with: 1500/80

after dividing i would end up with $18.75 which is my answer.

Hope this helps! <3
