Question

An art supply store has a sale advertising 40% off all canvases.Shelly buys 4 large canvases and pays a total of 141.60. How much would she have paid without the discount

Answer 1

Answer:

when calculating a discount you typically multiply so doing the opposite we must divide 141.60 by 40% which would be 0.40.

141.60/0.40 = 354.

therefore the original price was $354.
