Question

A painting is on sale at 50% off the sale price is $320 what was the original price please show work

Answer 1

Let the original price be n. Then 0.50n = $320, and n = $640. Be sure to include the unit of measurement $.

Answer 2

The original price was 640. 50 percent off would be half of the original price, so it is essentially the discounted price times two
320*2=640
