Question

A store has a 25% off sale on pants. If the new price of the pants (before tax) is $16. 50, what is the original price of the pants

Answer 1

I think the original price of the pants is $20.63

Explanation:

25% of 16.50 is 4.125

4.125 + 16.50 = 20.625

20.625 - 4.125 = 16.50 (the price after the discount is subtracted from it)

round 20.625 to the nearest cent and you get 20.63.

Hope this helps!
