Question

Anthony found a sweater on sale for 15% off! The discount price of the sweater before tax is $22.74. What is the regular price of the sweater before the discount?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$26.75

Explanation:

The after-discount price is 85% of the original price. So, the original price is ...

0.85 × p = 22.74

p = 22.74/0.85 = 26.75 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of p

The regular price is $26.75.
