Kelsey has a 88% discount coupon for a wedding store. She sees a new prom dress that she wants to buy. After the 88% discount was applied, Kelsey paid $30 for the prom dress. What was the original price of the prom dress?
88% Discount $30 sale price (Discounted price) = (100 percent - discount percent) x (original price) $30 = (100% - 88%) x (op) $30 = 12% x op $30 = 0.12 x op $30/0.12 = 0.12/0.12 x op $250 = op So, $250 is the original price.
