At a sale, suits were sold for $116 each. This price was 58% of a suit's original price. How much did a suit originally cost?

To find the original price first put the % into decimal form.

58% is 0.58.

Then divide the discounted price ($116) by the % in decimal form:

116 / 0.58

Original price is $200.00
