Question

After all markdowns and discounts, Charlene's prom dress cost her $22 before tax. The dress was on a rack labeled "50% off lowest marked price," and the lowest marked price was already a 75% reduction from the original price. What was the original price of the dress?

Answer 1

Answer: $88.
