Question

After a 20% discount, Eduardo paid $140 for a skateboard. What was the price before the discount?

How do you know your answer is correct?

Answer 1

$175

Explanation:

If after a 20% discount, it cost $140, the $140 is only 80% of the cost.

So divide 140 by 4 then multiply the answer by 5 to get it back to 100%

140/4=35

35x5=175
