Answer 1

The regular price of the jeans would be $50.00

Explanation:

Sweet purchased a new pair of jeans for the battle of the bands.

He purchased the jeans on sale at 40% off.

He saved = $20.00

Let the price of jeans be x

40% of x = $20.00

`(40)/(100)` x = $20.00

0.40x = 20.00

x = 20.00 ÷ 0.40 = $50.00

The regular price of the jeans would be $50.00
