Answer:

$60

Explanation:

You want the regular price of a dress that sold for $42 after a 30% discount.

Price

The price can be found from ...

price - 0.30×price = $42

price(1 -0.30) = $42

price(0.70) = $42

price = $42/0.70 = $60

The usual price of the dress was $60.

Additional comment

The amount of the discount was $60×0.30 = $18.
