Problem

Sarah saved 12.00 dollars buying clothes. The cloth was on sale for 30% off. What was the original price?​

Solution

For this case we know that 12.00 represent the 30% of the total price so we can set up the following proportional rule:

12/30 = x/100

And solving for x we got:

x= 100 (12/30)= 40$

And then the best answer would be:

40.00$
