Question

The Wagner school store is having a sale! At the sale this week, a life sized stuffed animal of Wagner’s mascot is being sold for $158.40. This is a 52% discount of the original price. What is the original price? If necessary, round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Divide the sale price by the percentage of the original cost.

Percent of original cost = 100% - 52% = 48 %

158.40 / 0.48 = 330.00

The original price was $330.00
