Question

The percent of discount is 30% and the sale price is 42 how much was the original price

Answer 1

54.6

Explanation:

42 is multipled by 30%=12.6 +42=54.6

Answer 2

We dont know what is the original price, so we can say its x for now.

If the percent of discount is 30%, then the sale price is 70% of the original price, we have to put

0.70x = 42 (sale price)

To solve for x, we divide both sides by 0.70:

x = 60

Therefore, the original price was $60.
