Question

A shirt was reduced in price by 20% during a sale. If the shirt was bought

for £48, what was the original price of the shirt?

Answer 1

£60

Explanation:

Let the original price of the shirt be £x.

Reduction in price = 20% of x = 0.2x

Selling price of the shirt = x - 0.2x = 0.8 x

Since, the shirt was sold for £48

Therefore, 0.8x = 48

x = 48/0.8

x = £60

Answer 2

£57.6 bc it is extremely cool and correct
