Question

Carmen paid $10.50 for a T-shirt at the mall it was on sale for 30% off what was the original price before the discount

Answer 1

To find the original price of the T-shirt before the discount, we need to divide the discount by the percentage to find the discount amount, then add the discount amount to the sale price to find the original price. In this case, the discount was $10.50 * 30% = $<<10.5030.01=3.15>>3.15. So the original price of the T-shirt before the discount was $10.50 + $3.15 = $<<10.50+3.15=13.65>>13.65. Answer: \boxed{13.65}.

Answer 2

$15.00

Explanation:

The original price is x, an unknown.

x is 100% of the original price.

The discount was 30%.

100% - 30% = 70%

The discounted price was 70% of the original price.

70% of x is $10.50

0.7x = 10.5

x = 15

Answer: $15.00
