Question

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?

Answer 1

The suit originally cost $200.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the original price of the suit, you can use a rule of three considering that $116 represents 58% of the original price:

116 → 58%

x ← 100%

x=(116*100)/58

x=200

According to this, the answer is that the suit originally cost $200.
