Question

A shirt is on sale for 40% off. The sale price is $12. How much was the original price? *

Answer 1

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable x in this equation represents the original price of the shirt:

100% - 40% = 60%

60% of x = $12

0.6x = $12

x = $12/0.6

x = $20
