Question

If the price of an object dropped 65% down to $99.99, what was the original price?

Answer 1

If the price of an object dropped 65% down it means that 35% is $99.99, well,
then we make a proportion and solve 99.99 multiply by 100 and divide by 35,
then we get the original price $285,7

maybe I have a mistake)

Answer 2

The answer is 153.83. Because if you multiply 99.99 by .65, thats the answer
