Question

The sale price of a pair of shoes is $28. This sale price is 70% of the original price. What was the original price?

Use the formula:

Answer 1

Step-by

28=70%

x=100%

28/70=x/100

Then cross multiply

(28*100)/70=40

The original fridge was 40

Answer 2

$40

Explanation:

If 7/10 is equal to 28/1, you have to multiply the denominator by 4 and divide the denominator by 10. This means that 10/10 is equal to 40/1 or $40.
