Question

I find an awesome pair of red Jimmy Choo ‘Romy 100’ heels for 35% off. If the sale price is $812.50, what was the original price before the markdown?

Answer 1

812.50 ------------------------ 65%

x ----------------------- 100%

x = (100 x 812.50) / 65

x = 81250 / 65

x = $1250

The original price was $1250.00
