Question

A baseball glove is on sale for $34.00, which is 15% off of its original price. What was the original price of the baseball glove?

Answer 1

Answer: $40.00

Explanation:

To find the original price, you would need to utilize the equation Original Price = Sales Price ÷ (1 - Discount). In this equation, Discount refers to the percentage of discount.

Original Price = $34.00 ÷ (1 - 0.15)

Original Price = $34.00 ÷ (0.85)

Original Price = $40.00
