Question

Frank paid $22.44 I sweatshirt had been discounted by 30% what is the regular price the sweatshirt

Answer 1

Answer: $32.06

Explanation:

Let the regular price of the sweatshirt be x.

Therefore,

$22.44 = x - 0.3x

22.44 = 0.7x

x = about $32.06

Answer 2

Explanation:

22.44 represent 70% of the normal price of the sweatshirt.

Why 70%?

The reason is if you take 30% of the original price and subtract that from thirty %, you will get 70% of the original price.

Original price = 70% of x

Equation

70% x = 22.44

70/100 x = 22.44 Multiply both sides by 100

70 x = 22.44 * 100

70 x = 2244 Divide both sides by 70

70x/70 = 2244 / 70

x = 32.06

Answer: The sweatshirt originally cost 32.06
