Question

Jackets are on salefor 25% off. Thediscount is $12. Whatis the regular price ofthe jacket?

Answer 1

Let the regular price be Y

If the discount is $12 and this is 25% off then

25% * Y = 12

25/100 * Y = 12

Y/4 = 12

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

Y = 12 * 4

= $48

The regular price of the jacket is $48
