Felipe used a 40 percent off coupon on a single item at the craft store which saved him $16.42. What would the item have cost if he had not used the coupon?

Answer 1

Hi Jonaseth,

 

If the price of the item is p then with 40% off, Felipe pays

0.4p = $16.42

    p  = $16.42/0.40 

The price of the item was $41.05

 

Note: Felipe paid $24.63 for the item
