Question

A store has a 30% off sale on ski pants. With this discount, the price of one pair of ski pants is $88. What is the original price of the ski pants?

Answer 1

P - .3P = 88

3

.7P = 88

P = 88/.7 = 880/7 = $125.71 = original Price rounded off to nearest penny

30% of 125.71 = .3(125.71) = 37.71 subtract from 125.71 = 88
