Question

The sale price of $24 was 60 percent of the regular price. What was the regular price?​

Answer 1

60/100(60%) * x = 24

Where 60/100 represents the discount percentage, and x represents the original amount, and 24 is the result of the discount.

Solve for x;

60/100 * x = 24

60/100x = 24

60/100 also results in 0.6

0.6x = 24

/0.6 /0.6

x = 40, the regular price was $40.
