Question

At a store,a basketball has been discounted 20% off the regular price. The sale is $15 .What was the original price of the basketball? Show your work and explain your answer.

Answer 1

$18

Explanation:

Since there was a 20% discount all we have to do is add 20% to the sale price.

15 increase 20% =

15 × (1 + 20%) = 15 × (1 + 0.2) = 18
