Question

A shop owner offered a 20% discount off the regular price of a mirror. The amount of the discount is $5. What is the regular price of the mirror?

Answer 1

Answer:

25 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20 percent of the initial price was 5, you can create the equation:

0.2x=5, with x being the regular price.

Multiply both sides by 5:

x=25

Answer 2

Answer:

25$

Step-by-step explanation:

20/100 can be rounded down to 1/5 meaning all you have to do is multiply 5 by 5

5 times 5 is 25

25$ was the original price
