Question

Monica bought a new jacket that was 40% off the original price. If the discount was $24, what was the original price of the jacket

Answer 1

To get a discount price from full price you would multiply the full price by the discount (in this case .40) and to get the full price from discount price you would divide the discount price by 1- discount
So 24/.6= 40

Answer 2

The original price of the jacket is $40.
