Tia bought a sweater that was discounted for 20% of the original price. She saved $4.60 with the discount. What was the original price of the sweater?

Answer 1

Since she saved $4.60, that must be the 20% discount, which equals 0.20 times the original price.

x = original price

$4.60 = 0.20x

Solve for x and finish from here.
