Question

Rachel saved $45 buying the dress at a 20%- off sale. What was the regular price for the dress ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the regular price of the dress = y

20% off sale = 0.20

Discounted price= 0.2 × y

Rachel saved = $45

This means after removing the discount from the regular price, she saved $45

45 = regular price - Disounted price

45 = y - 0.2y

45 = 0.8y

divide both sides by 0.8:

45/0.8 = 0.8y/0.8

y =56.25

The regular price
