Problema Solution

a blouse has been reduced by 12%. the sale price is $22. Find the original price of the blouse.

Answer provided by our tutors

Since the blouse was reduced by 12% to get the sale price, we can deduce that the sale price is:


sale price=100-12=88% of the original price


Therefore, we can find the original(n) price by:

.88n=22


Using Algebrator to solve for 'n', we get:

n=$25
