Question

Nia told Patrick that her new backpack only costs 14$ because she used a 30% off coupon when she bought it. Patrick wants to buy a similar backpack. How much will it cost if he does not have 30% off coupon.

Answer 1

the answer is actually $20, they want the original price, 14 was the discounted price

Explanation:

1% of 20 is .2, so .2x30=6 and $20-6=14 so the original price was 20

Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

.01*20=.2

.2*30=6.

20-6*.3=14
