Question

A store has a 25% off sale on coats. With this discount, the price of one coat is $34.50.

What is the original price of the coat?​

Answer 1

46 b/c the discount was 25% and b/c of it the price became 34.50 so, 100% - 25%= 75% then 34.50/75%(0.75)= 46.

Answer 2

46

Explanation:

With 25% off, the $34.50 represents 100%-25%=75% of the original cost.

so, 0.75*x=34.50

x=34.50/0.75=46
