Question

The Bath and Bodyworks hand soap is on sale for $3.25. If this price represents a 50% discount from the

original price, what is the original price to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

$6.50

Explanation:

(I submitted and it was right)

3.25 = 50%

3.25 + 3.25 = 6.50

6.50 = 100%

Don't over think it! Best of luck!

Answer 2

$4.875 Rounded to nearest cent:$4.88

Explanation:

50%=0.50

3.25*0.50=1.625

$3.25+$1.625=$4.875

The rule is five or more add one more. So add one to the 7 making it 8. Make sure to take out the five. And you get $4.88
