Question

13. You bought a pair of shoes on sale from Ross and saved $13, or 25%. What was the full price before the 25% discount?

Answer 1

The original price would be a $52.

Explanation:

Seeing as 25% = 1/4. Multiply 13*4 to see what the whole price would be which is 52 so then you can see that 13 is 1/4 or 25% of the whole price.

Answer 2

$52

Explanation:

$13 is 25%

$x is 100%

0.25x=13×1

x=13/0.25

x=52

or

13 × 4 = 52

$52 was the full price before the discount.
