Answer 1

The answer you are looking for is A: $19.98

Explanation:

Since there was a sale initially for 60% you need to divide the sale percent, which is 0.6 by the sales price, which is 11.99. This gives you a: 19.98

Answer 2

Option A. $19.98

Fra Diavolo's Books marked down its entire stock of novels for the weekened only = 60%

After marked down the sale price of the book = $11.99

On Monday morning when sale goes off,

The price will return = 11.99 ÷ 0.60 = $19.98

To calculate the original price before discount we have to divide 11.99 to 60%.

So Option A. $19.98 is the answer.
