Problema Solution

Alex purchased a new suit discounted by 65%. He paid $35.80 for the suit. What was the original price?

Answer provided by our tutors

let original price be x

Discount = 0.65x

Discounted amount = x - 0.65x

                      = (1-0.65)x

                      =0.35x

0.35x  = 35.8

x = 35.8/0.35 = $102.29
