Question

A 20% discount on pants, and its price became 48 after the sale, what was its price before​

Answer 1

$60

Explanation:

Represent the original price by p. Then:

1.00 p = original price

0.20 p = discount

0.80p = price after discount = $48

Solving for p, we divide both sides by 0.80:

$48

p = ---------- = $60

0.80
