Question

At a sale, a suit is being sold for 66% of the regular price. The sale price is $429. What is the regular price?

Answer 1

Let x be the regular price, then we can set the following equation:

$x\cdot0.66=429$

Solving for x we get:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{429}{0.66}=650 \\ x=650 \end{gathered}$
