Answer 2

127.50

Explanation:

To find the original price of the coat before the sale, you can use the fact that it was reduced by 20%.

To do this, you need to set up an equation and solve for the original price (let's call it "x").

You know that the sale price is £102, and it represents 80% of the original price because it's 100% (the original price) minus the 20% reduction.

So, you can set up the equation as follows:

80% of x = £102

To find the original price (x), you need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, convert 80% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

0.80x = £102

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 0.80 to solve for x:x = £102 / 0.80x = £127.50So, the original price of the coat before the sale was £127.50.
