You have a 20% discount and you saved 13$ what was the original price ?

Answer 1

Hi, Angelica.

Since you saved 20% and that was equivalent to $13, you need to find the original price of the item.

Therefore,

If you call the original price of the item (x), then

.20(x) = 13

Now, divide both sides by .20 to isolate the variable(x):

x = 13/.20 = 65

Therefore, the original price was $65.
