Question

Swimsuit discounted 65% on sale for $20.30.

Answer 1

Original price of the swimsuit = x

If something was discounted 65%, that means you are paying 35% for it.
(100% - 65% = 35% or 0.35)

x(0.35) = 20.30

divide both sides by 0.35

x = 58

The swimsuit was originally 58 dollars.

Answer 2

Answer: The original price of swimsuit is $58.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Sale price of swimsuit = $20.30

Rate of discount =65%

Let the original price of swimsuit be 'x'.

According to question,

`(100-65)/(100)* x=20.30\\\\(35)/(100)* x=20.30\\\\x=(100* 20.30)/(35)\\\\x=\$58`

Hence, the original price of swimsuit is $58.
