Joy buys a shirt using a coupon for 75% off one item. She pays only $15.00 for a shirt. How much
did the shirt cost originally?

Answer 1

$60.00

Explanation:

15 is 25% of a number. 25 times 4 equals 100. so 15 times four is 60, making 60 the 100%

Answer 2

Answer: $60

Work Shown:

x = original price

75% of x = 0.75x = amount saved

x - 0.75x = 0.25x = final price after discount = 15

0.25x = 15

x = 15/0.25

x = 60
