Question

Sammie pays $30 for a bag that she buys at a discount of 50%. What is the price of the bag without the discount?

Answer 1

$30/ (50/100)
= $30* (100/50)
= $60.

The original price of the bag is $60~

Answer 2

The price of the bag without the discount is, $60

Explanation:

Given the statement:

Sammie pays $30 for a bag that she buys at a discount of 50%.

Cost pays for a bag = $30

Discount = 50%

We have to find the price of the bag without the discount.

Price of the bag without discount:

⇒
`\frac{\text{Cost with discount}}{\text{Discount}} * 100`

`(30)/(50) * 100`

⇒
`30 * 2 =\$ 60`

Therefore, the price of the bag without the discount is, $60
