Question

Answer 1

$150

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Lucy paid 120 dollars for an item
The item was 20% off

What was the original price? To find the original price we will need to use the formula to calculate percentages.

20% of 150

`(p* n)/(100)`

`(20*150)/(100)`

`20*150=3000`

`3000/100=30`

`150-30=120`

`=120`

Which means our original price is "$150."

Hope this helps.
