Help me please

in a sale, the normal price of a hat is reduced by 15%
The sale price of the hat is 20.40 euros.
Work out the normal price of the hat.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 24

Explanation:

To solve this math problem, you will need to divide 20.40 with 1 (1 is 100% as a decimal) and 0.15 (0.15 is 15% as a decimal).

--

`20.40` ÷
`(1-0.15)`

--

First, subtract 1 and 0.15

`1-0.15=0.85`

Next, divide 20.40 and 0.85

`20.40` ÷
`0.85 = 24`

--

Therefore, the final product of this math problem is 24
