Question

Alicia bought a new game that was 15% off. The discount took 4.65. What was the original price of the shirt?

Answer 1

If 31 is a option I would pick it.

Explanation:

The problem we are solving is:

15% of ____ is 4.65.

This means that 0.15 x ? = 4.65

So ? = 4.65 / 0.15

Therefore ? = 31.

So the original number is 31.
