Question

A bike is on sale for 45% off of the regular price. If the sale price is $299.75, what was the original price?

Answer 1

666.11
299.75/.45=666.11

since you’re looking for original price instead of the price on sale, you would do the opposite which is to divide.

Answer 2

the original price is 545$

Explanation:

299.75$ : 55$ = x : 100

55x = 299.75 x 100

55x : 29975

divide 29975 by 55 =

545
