Question

At a sale, a suit is being sold for 66% of the regular price. The sale price is $429. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

Let x be the regular price, then we can set the following equation:

`x\cdot0.66=429`

Solving for x we get:

`\begin{gathered} x=(429)/(0.66)=650 \\ x=650 \end{gathered}`
