Question

If a coat was marked down 20% and the sale price is $55.60, what is the original price?

Answer 1

$69.50

Explanation:

As it was marked down 20%, this means the sale price would be 100-20=80%.

When 80% ---- cost $55.60

Therefore when 100% ---- cost = $55.60 * 100/80

So when we solve this, we get the final ans $69.50
