The phone case you want to buy is marked down 30%, and you have a 25% off coupon. You pay $42.00, can this equation be used to find the original price of the phone case? If so, what is the original price of the item? Explain.

Equation: 3/4(0.7c) = 42

PLEASE HELP IT'S DUE TOMORROW

Answer:

80

Explanation:

As the discounted price is "price * (1-0,X)" where X is the discount percentage, the price before the coupon application is 42 / 0,75 = 56

Again, 56 / 0,70 = 80
