Question

If 45% of an item is $27.00 what is the original price?

​

Answer 1

$12.15 is 45% of $27, so if the item was marked up, you add 12.15 and 27, and if it was marked down, you do 27 - 12.15

Explanation:

a = p*w

a = .45*27

a = 12.15

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

It would be $12.15.

Explanation:

You would multiply 45% of 27.

45 * 27 = $12.15
