Q
Q: If a shirt is sold for $240 after a discount of 20%, what was the original price of the shirt?
Solution:
Let the original price be x. After a 20% discount, the selling price is 80% of x. Therefore, 0.8x = 240; x = 240 / 0.8 = 300.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that the shirt is sold for $240 after a discount.
Step 2: Know that a 20% discount means you pay 80% of the original price.
Step 3: Let the original price of the shirt be represented by 'x'.
Step 4: Write the equation for the selling price after the discount: 0.8 * x = 240.
Step 5: To find 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 0.8: x = 240 / 0.8.
Step 6: Calculate the division: 240 divided by 0.8 equals 300.
Step 7: Conclude that the original price of the shirt is $300.
