Question

Paula bought a coat on sale for $6.00 less than half of the original price. She paid $88.00 for the coat. Write and solve an equation to find the original price.

Answer 1

The price is 188$

Explanation:

Considering that the original price was first halved and then subtracted by 6$ to get a value of 88$, you can reverse all the steps made to get 88$. So first, 88$ + 6$, then (88$+6$) * 2 to reverse it from being halved, and your answer is 188$. stay safe luv <3.
