Question

Today, everything in a store is on sale. The store offers a 25% discount.

If the discount price of a hat is $16, what's the regular price?

Answer 1

the answer is 41

Explanation:

if it is 25% off then you would add the 25% and the $16 to get your total amount.

Answer 2

If we take 25% away from the full price, we are left with 75%. In decimal form, that is 0.75. If x is the full price, and 75% of x is the sale price, we have this equation:

0.75x = 16
x = 21.33333

So the original price was $21.33
