Question

Hey guys I need help with this exercise!!! PLZZZ HELP!

Math Problem: A store is having a sale where everything is discounted by 30%. Find the original cost if a customer buys an item that was on sale at $255.5.

Answer 1

Answer:

365

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is 30 %

That means we pay 70 %

original price * 70% = 255.50

Change to decimal form

original price * .70 = 255.50

divide each side by .70

original price * .70/.70 = 255.50/.70

original price =365
