Q
Q: A shirt is sold for $30 after a discount of 25%. What was the original price of the shirt?
Solution:
Let the original price be x. Then, 0.75x = 30. Therefore, x = 30 / 0.75 = 40.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that the shirt is sold for $30 after a discount of 25%.
Step 2: Recognize that if the shirt is sold for $30 after a 25% discount, it means the customer pays 75% of the original price.
Step 3: Let the original price of the shirt be represented by 'x'.
Step 4: Write the equation to represent the sale price: 0.75 * x = 30.
Step 5: To find the original price 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 0.75: x = 30 / 0.75.
Step 6: Calculate the division: 30 divided by 0.75 equals 40.
Step 7: Conclude that the original price of the shirt was $40.
