Question

maria brought a blouse on sale for 20% off. the sale price was $21.76. what was the original price? round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer: $27.20

Explanation:

She bought a blouse for 20% off so it means that she paid 80% of the original price.We can then set up the equation

80% of x = 21.76 where x is the original price so solve for x

0.8x = 21.76

x = 27.20

Which means the original price is $27.20
