Answer:
$80 is the 100% original price
The sale price is $56 with 30% off and $24 in savings.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion. We know that $24 is a 30% off discount of an unknown original price. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of comparing percent and comparing the 24 to the original price. We then set them equal.
We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.
30(x)=24(100)
30x=2400
We divide to find x.
x=80.
Since we saved $24 as a discount, the sale price would be 80-24=56.
