Question

if pants are 30% discount and the amount of the discount is $15 what's is the original price

Answer 1

Let the original price represents x.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Discount = 30\% of x =\ 15} \\ \frac{30}{100}\times x=15 \\ 0.30x=15 \\ x=\frac{15}{0.30}=50 \\ \text{The original price is \ 50} \end{gathered}$
