The original price of the sweater will be $50.
The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to 100. It is denoted by the sign %. The percentage stands for "out of 100." Imagine any measurement or object being divided into 100 equal bits.
It is given that Julie buys a sweater that is on sale for 20% less than the original price. If she pays $40, then the original price of the sweater will be calculated as below.
80% of original price = $40
1% of the original price = 40 / 80
100% of the original price = (40/80) x 100
100% of the original price = 100 / 2
Divide 100 by 2 to get the value.
100% of the original price = $50
Therefore, the original price of the sweater will be $50.
