Question

I have 20% of a coupon to buy a shirt and i saved $5 what was the original price of the shirt?

Answer 1

Answer: 25$

Explanation:

We know that the coupon took off 5$ and that it was for 20%. This means that 5$ was 20% of the shirt.

20% = 0.2

P=full price of shirt

5 = 0.2P

multiply both sies of the equation by 5

25 = p

shirt cost 25$
