Question

Tracy is taking advantage of a 25% off sale to buy a new coat. If the coat's sale price is $135, what was the original cost?.

Answer 1

$180 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

25% of what number is 135

In order to find the answer, we calculate the percentage of the initial cost and then subtract that answer from the initial amount of the coat.


`(25*180)/(100) =25*180=4500/100=45`
25% of 180 = 45

`180-45=135`

`=180`

The initial cost of the coat is "$180 dollars."

Hope this helps.
